Some pictures from a trip through the eastern Erie canal and Oswego Canal in 2005. I was on the tug Margot pushing a barge with a turbine on it to Oswego.

Down on Lock O-5. There is not a Lock O-4. The original canal plans called for one but the engineers were able to work one of the locks out of the plans. The signs must have been made though because all the other numbers stayed the same.
