Subject: Shinnecock Inlet
From: "Jeff Morris" It isn't too hard to search the CG or Corps of Eng sites for all references to "Shinnecock." There are very few, and none refer to the locks/gate. In the case of the Corps, this is understandable, since they did not build nor do then maintain the facility. I'm not sure if the CG area of responsibility extends through the canal, but I wouldn't be surprised if they hardly ever go through. About the only thing they would be responsible for would be any "aids" that aren't privately maintained, although with their new responsibilities for "homeland" security, I wouldn't be surprised that they have looked at the "lock" in that regard. Jax is bluffing- there is no site, he never talked to the CG or Corps, he was never there. That's a given. There are however, a variety of rather explicit references to the locks, including the size, number of gates and their operation. Its pretty clear they're regular locks, with tide gates next to them. Its possible that jaxie heard someone say they went through the gates when the current was south, and didn't realize you have to use the locks to go back when the flow is the other way. To be sure I'm reading this correctly. The lock is mainly or exclusively used on the incoming tide, not the outgoing? BTW, I got a kick out of Jax' reference to people trying to make the Shinnecock canal/lock into the Suez Canal...... mthere are NO locks in the Suez. Shen |
