shen shows just how miserable is his understanding of tidal flows thusly:

okay squathead, you call 'em the way you see 'em and I will call them the

way
both the CG and Corps of Engineers see them.

but what do they know?


Exactly. What "DO" they know?
BTW, let's assume that the canal/lock in question runs N-S. Now, if the tidal
current is flowing at a good rate through the canal/lock from N-S, could we
assume that the water to the South is at a lower level than the water to the
North?
If you should answer this in the affirmative, then we can say that the lock
is
used to raise or lower (even if only inches) vessels, though the main reason
may have more to do with overcoming the dangers of a strong current, and get
vessels, safely through the area........ just a thought.

Are you still claiming the CG and Corps support your nonsense? Why haven't you been
able to provide a link? Is it because you made it up?

Thought that would be too complicated for your limited reasoning abilities.

Toodles, again, Doodles.

no. I got that nonsense from them, not them from me.

Hey jaxie. I just called the lock tender on the Shinnecock Canal. I asked him if the
locks were a tidegate or locks. He said "We have both." I asked again, are the
locks regular locks like on the Erie Canal, with a gate at both ends, that raises and
lowers the boats? And he said "Absolutely."

I guess that settles it. You were probably never there, and probably don't know the
difference between a gate and a lock. You never talked to the CG, or the Corps. In
fact, you just made this all up, didn't you?

BTW, anyone who wants to verify this could track down the phone number - I won't
publish it here, but he's a Suffolk County employee.
