We were able to meet with a family friend, DeeDee, for lunch at Lock 34 Bar & Grill in Lockport, NY.
 |
| Old City Hall (1860 as a mill, converted 1884 into one of the first water pumping stations, 1893-1974 was city hall) |
 |
| Below us is Lock 34, viewed from the Pine Street Bridge, and above it is Lock 35 of the New York State Barge Canal (1909-1918) (KSS) |
 |
| Lock Tenders Tribute (2021 by Susan Geissler) replicates an 1897 photo, and will eventually have a dozen lock tenders |
 |
| The Lock Tenders are located between the paths of the eastbound (grassy area) and westbound Flight of Five Locks (completed in 1862) which enlarged the original Erie Canal Locks of 1822-1825 (KSS) |
 |
| The water in Lock 35 was drained to allow the Lockport Locks & Erie Canal Cruise boat to enter (KSS) |
 |
| Lock 35 is then filled with water to raise the boat a total of 49 feet combined for Locks 34 & 35 (KSS) |
 |
| The double upper gates of Lock 35 begin to open (KSS) |
 |
| The gates are almost fully open on the western-most locks of the Erie Canal (KSS) |
 |
| Now the cruise boat can continue for a distance on the old Erie Canal before returning (KSS) |
 |
| Bon voyage! |
 |
| Tamiko with DeeDee at her darling house! (KSS) |
