Canada Steamship Line's Right Hon Paul J Martin is close to entering
Lock 7 (Thorold Ontario Canada) of the Welland Canal. She is empty,
which is unusual for an upbound Canadian laker, and was headed to
Hamilton Ontario.

That's a wicked cool shot.

I can tell it's Canadian by looking at the drafts.

Thanks Mark. Didn't turn out quite as I think I was imagining, but I
liked it anyway. Glad you liked it too.

Her bow thruster is running.

The bow thruster was running all along there. Glad I wasn't on the
canal wall at one point as I would have gotten wet from a big splash.
Unfortunately, I did not have the camera at the ready, so no picture
of it.

The ship must pull to the left in the canal. That would be caused by the
ship's screw rotation.
