I have seen it and many times. And I -- like the CG and C of Eng -- know what
a lock is and does.

you have never seen it and never will. you do not now know what a lock is and
never will.

I am still looking for any "lock" on the East River, required by the difference
in water height on one end as compared to the other end.

You're right. I've never seen it. Neither have you.


I am well aware you have never seen it and never will. If you had seen it,
you
wouldn't make the fumb duck statements about it being a "lock" you do.

I have seen it, jeffies, many times. Up close and personal.
You're clearly lying. Or you don't know what a lock is. Or more likely
both. Which is it, jaxie?

Just to be clear, here's a picture of the lock in the Shinnecock Canal:

Why do you say this in not a lock?

So why does the Corps call it a lock? Why does the Coast Pilot call it
a lock? Why do the builders of it and the operators call it a lock?
Why can't you find a single reference to a site that says its not a lock?

Right Jaxie. I learned to sail on the Charles River and used the locks
there dozens, maybe hundreds, of times. I've gone through the Erie
Canal several times. The Troy Locks, the Dismal Swamp locks. Great
Bridge. In fact, there's only a few locks on the East Coast I haven't
been through.

What's your point? There is a significant tide difference, but there is
no lock. Why is the impossible for you to understand?
