If you look closely at the third picture you can see a man standing on the deck. When they first got to the lock he yelled down to us and asked if it looked like it would fit, then he laughed. When they passed through the Captain blew the horn and some if the other men stepped out to wave. Tomorrow we are going back to see another ship.

22 million gallons to fill the lock, and they do it in 7 minutes. It is a marvel of engineering.
