While jaxie "claims" the CG and Corps say there's no lock, where's what the latest
Coast Pilot says. It seems rather definitive to me. Since the Corps doesn't run
these locks, why would they have anything to say? And it should be easy to find a
reference to the locks or gates on the CG or Corps sites, but curiously, there is
nothing.

And besides, is there anyone in the world that would believe Jaxie over Skipper Bob?

Chart 12352
10) Shinnecock Canal, 31.5 miles southwestward of
Montauk Point, is about 1 mile long and connects
Great Peconic Bay with Shinnecock Bay. The canal is
owned and maintained by Suffolk County of New York.
It is a partly dredged cut and is protected at the north
entrance by two jetties; the east jetty is marked by a
light. In April 1985, the east timber jetty was reported
to be deteriorating. Protruding timbers and floating
debris may be encountered; caution is advised. A lock
about midway in the canal is 250 feet long, 41 feet wide,
with a depth of 12 feet over the sills. Tide gates are par-
allel to and westward of the lock. The lock gates and
tide gates are constructed so that tidal action opens
them to allow the current to set south through the
canal and closes them to prevent water from
Shinnecock Bay to flow back into Great Peconic Bay.
The lock gates are tended 24 hours and are opened me-
chanically when the tidal current is flowing northward
to allow the passage of boats. Red and green traffic lights
are at each end of the lock. Vessels are allowed to
enter the lock only on the green signal.
11) The fixed bridges and overhead power cables across
the canal have a least clearance of 22 feet. Mast-step-
ping cranes are available at both ends of the canal.

hoary, you like jeffies, have never seen the Shinnecock Canal, not even from
the highway. Everything you know nautical you learned from a pilfered Skipper
Bob's.

Good grief, Jax-Ass, don't you have anything of consequence to do?

You've been raving about Shinnecock Inlet for years now. Move on to
another of your idiotic, endless ocmmentaries...
