Kawartha Voyageur at Merrickville Lock Station

I went to Merrickville on July 26, 2019 to photograph the lock station and blockhouse there for my blog site, Memorials in Ottawa. I plan to photograph all the lock stations and other features, mostly moving bridges, of the Rideau Canal system, as it is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Merrickville is the tenth lock station I have photographed so far. I hope to at least include the next four to Smiths Falls before the end of August.

While in Merrickville, Ontario Waterway Cruises' Kawartha Voyageur went through the locks and, of course, I photographed it. I'll be including these pictures in the post on Memorials in Ottawa some time in about ten to twelve months. I'm posting them here now so you have a bit of a preview of the larger number of pictures of the lock station and blockhouse.

As you will see in the pictures, the bow folds up so the boat can be the maximum size that will fit into a Rideau Canal lock. Keep in mind I went to photograph the lock station, not the boat, and that will be evident in some of the photographs. I'm showing them here in the order I took them.

These forty-seven pictures are about 20% of the pictures I took of the lock station. I may not use all of them with the post on the lock station. I'm posting them all here. I hope you enjoy them.
