The Travels of Tug 44


2006 Erie Canal Flood - Lock 15



Special thanks to Jim & Sue on Water Dancer III who provided these photos:


The floodwaters had been up to the windows of the building and left a large tree on the railing.



A Marine Trader lies on the bottom of the lock, wrecked. The railings on the lock doors are all bent up from fast-moving debris overflowing everything.



This is the Marine Trader again, after they hauled her out of the lock. See full-sized photo



The topside of the Marine Trader, this boat has been rolled. Lock 15 appears in the background. See full-sized photo



A Canal Corp Tug and a Dredge sit above Lock 15. Note all the debris on the adjacent dam. See full-sized photo
