Welland Canals Centre Lock 3. is part of the Lock system Among the most critical components of the waterway are the 15 locks of the St. Lawrence Seaway. These locks not only allow ships to navigate the St. Lawrence River from Montreal to Lake Ontario, they also enable vessels to bypass Niagara Falls. Of the Seaway's 15 locks, two are in the United States and 13 are in Canada. We were able to watch this ship being lowered through this lock. We then drove off to visited Niagara on the Lake and saw this exact ship out on Lake Ontario about an hour after it left this lock.
