The ship is about 78' wide and 730' long. The lock is only 80 feet wide by about 740' long so you can see the captain has to be an excellent ship handler http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=43.193318,-79.202628&spn=0.006974,0.007231&t=k&hl=en The URL Tom refers to in his May 31 post is not a tanker but a Laker, a self unloader probably owned by CSL or Upper Lakes and it is entering Lock 1 upbound.
