Welland Canal, Lock 7 - Canada HD Travel Channel
Welland Canal Lock 7 is located in the city of Thorold in the province of Ontario, Canada. The Welland Canal connects Lake Erie with Lake Ontario. He has a long history and is older than the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal. In January 1824, the merchant William Hamilton Merritt founded Welland Canal Company. The first channel with 40 wood locks was opened in 1829 after a construction time from five years. The 109 ft long wooden locks offered space for the then 98-feet sailing ships and the floodgates were opened with muscular strength.
In the course of time the channel has been changed many times. Today's modern canal was opened in August 1932. It is 26 mi long and has 8 locks which allow the large ships to bridge a difference in height of 326.5 ft. Today the locks are traversable for ships with a maximum boat length of 740 ft.
Welland Canal Lock 7 is the southernmost lift over the Niagara Escarpment. Here you can observe the ship lifting at close hand. The vessels, often more than 720 ft long, fit precise to the inch into the lock basin.
In time-lapse video you can see how the self-unloading bulk carrier Canadian Transport- passes through Lock 7. The Canadian Transport is about 730 ft long, and was built in the Port Weller Dry Docks in St. Catharines, Ontario. Powered by two 8-cylinder MAN diesel engines she can reach a nominal speed of 13 knots.

Welland Canal Lock 7 liegt in der Stadt Thorold in der Provinz Ontario, Kanada.
Der Wellandkanal verbindet den Eriesee mit dem Ontariosee. Er hat eine lange Geschichte und ist älter als der Suezkanal und der Panamakanal. Im Januar 1824 gründete der Kaufmann William Hamilton Merritt die Welland Canal Company. Im Jahre 1829 wurde der erste Kanal mit 40 Holzschleusen nach einer Bauzeit von fünf Jahren eröffnet. Die 33,5 m langen Holzschleusen wurden mit Muskelkraft geöffnet und boten Platz für die damals 30 m langen Segelschiffe.
Im Laufe der Zeit wurde der Kanal mehrfach verändert. Der heutige moderne Kanal wurde im August 1932 eröffnet. Er ist 42 km lang und hat 8 Schleusen die es der Großschifffahrt ermöglichen einen Höhenunterschied von 99,5 Meter zu überwinden. Heute sind die Schleusen für Schiffe mit einer Maximallänge von 225,70 m befahrbar.
Welland Canal Lock 7 ist die südlichste Schleuse über die Niagara Schichtstufe. Hier kann man hautnah Schiffshebungen beobachten. Die oft über 200 m langen Schiffe passen zentimetergenau in die Schleusenbecken.
Im Video in Zeitraffer sehen Sie wie der Massengutfrachter Canadian Transport Lok 7 passiert. Die Canadian Transport ist ca. 222 m lang wurde in den Port Weller Dry Docks in St. Catharines, Ontario gebaut. Angetrieben von zwei MAN 8-Zylinder-Dieselmotoren kann sie eine nominelle Geschwindigkeit von 13 Knoten erreichen.

ABANDONED GHOST TOWN OVERNIGHT STAY | Explore #10
Urbex: Overnight Stay in a Ghost Town (English subtitles are available!)
► Interested in abandoned buildings, “Lost Places” and Urban Exploration (UE)? You have a passion for Geocaching, Bushcraft, Outdoor and more? Be sure to check out our channel and the other videos, too!
Spend the night in an abandoned place: Check! We can cross off that on our bucket lists.
On our latest urbex road trip we came across a ghost town. People were resettled like ten years ago because of a surface mine next to it. It’s a surreal place! Most of the town was knocked down, but a small part was still there. While walking along the ruins you could get a pretty good impression of how people used to work and live here. However, we decided to spend the night in the ghost town, so we build our camp in the old glassworks building.
But maybe it was kind of reckless… By the time we wanted to go to sleep we heard scrap thieves arriving and dismantling something. Half an hour later they left and we were able to sleep - only to get wake a bit later - by something that ambushed our camp. A stray cat! Scared the hell out of us… Lil’ fucker. We survived the night anyway.
Oh, yes! The next day we met the cat again and we fed it with our leftovers (cow’s milk and barbecue cheese) and got besties and lived happily ever after, or something like that.
Join BWT (Broken Window Theory) on their adventures in this series called “Explore”. Different than usual people exploring abandoned places are in the focus of every episode and not the place itself. Follow us while we are wandering around, discovering, climbing - while we are urbexing. “Explore” also have a Making Of / Behind the Scenes character - you can get an insight view into the productions of the other BWT series.
