How Many Ships
How Many Ships pass through the locks?
| First year (1855) | ~ 27 vessels passed through in the first year. |
| Late 19th / Early 20th Century | In 1913, on the Canadian side (related but somewhat different locks/canal), ~ 8,285 vessels carrying 42.7 million tons of freight passed through the Sault Ste. Marie Canal. Parks Canada |
| Recent / Modern Annual Traffic | About 7,000 vessels per year now transit through the U.S. Soo Locks, hauling ~ 75-90 million tons of cargo. |
I think we saw 5 or 6 go through while we were here. They say Mondays are their busiest days.

Those are incredible stats Sandra, including that you saw that many vessels pass through why you were there!
Nice pictures. Were any ships backed and waiting while you were there? 🤣😎🙃
Only one, seems like more go through late in the day or at night.
Beautiful pictures
