Gasport, New York


Today I spent the day at the Erie Canal. The boat on the canal, walk for water tunnel aqueduct for manufacturing along the canal, boat ride in the aqueduct tunnel. The stone buildings in the pictures were made from the stone from the canal. In a couple of pictures you see, what looks like a smaller canal to the right, that is the original Erie Canal it has been widened three times they had to make new larger locks. Now where there are 2 locks the first canal had five locks
