The Welland Canal connects Lake Erie to Lake Ontario and provides a transportation route for large ships to pass through. We saw a large ship and we followed it all the way from Lock 4 to the end of the canal. It was fun to follow it. The navigator even sounded his horn and waved a BIG hand at us from the "bridge". The ship is on its way to Italy.Winter is coming soon and the St. Lawrence Seaway will close to boat traffic so all of the ships are hurrying to get through the Great Lakes and out to the Atlantic Ocean before the waters freeze.
