Souvenir Book

Efforts are underway to raise funds in support of the Lock 25 Restoration Project at Iroquois, Ontario, Canada.

The Galop Canal Revitalization Project is asking for a donation of $12 to the project, and in return donors will receive a copy of a small booklet featuring historic black and white photos of vessels passing through the canal.

The canal was originally built in 1846 at 9 feet deep with 200 foot locks. In 1898 it was enlarged to 14 foot depth and the locks extended to 270 feet.

In 1958 it was closed and partially inundated with the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway.

To donate, send cheques payable to the Galop Canal Revitalization Project, 11510 Lakeshore Dr., Iroquois, ON K0C 1X0.

Books are also available at the McIntosh Inn in Morrisburg, Mustard’s Variety in Iroquois, Halees Gift Shop in Iroquois at the Locks, at Crysler Park Marina and the Galop Canal Marina.
