Subject: Shinnecock Inlet
From: (JAXAshby) 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.
