Port Severen, Ontario


















Monday, July 14th is our last day on the Trent-Severen Waterway.
It is about 240 miles long and took about 75 years to build. We travelled up in locks, down in locks, and saw many different kinds of locks.

One of the most amazing locks we went through was on the last day.
We drove into a railroad car, put into a sling, transported across a road and put into the water on the other side. I took some pictures but all of the pictures here were taken by John and Joanie Anderson, who surprised us by showing up here without our knowledge!!! The lockmasters had kept tabs on us during the day and knew when we were coming through!! They are very experienced and knew just what to do with our boat.














































This was quite the experience. Port Severen was only 8 miles after this lock, the final stop on the waterway!!!!
