The horned oarlocks I had on my rowboats when I was a little kid had
keepers. There was a hole through the bottom of the shaft of the
oarlock, to which was attached a bronze chain with a little keeper on
the end of it. There were also folding horned oarlocks.

Please note that Interstate 90 will be closed this weekend across
South Dakota. This closure will allow the Federal Government free
access to haul a 200 ton piece of coal to Mt. Rushmore so that
President Obama can be added to the Presidents on the monument.
