towboat

towboat Patrick Gannaway waiting for the miter gates to open at the Upper Saint Anthony Falls lock in Minneapolis. The lock is not long enough for both barges and the towboat so the Gannaway has to untie and pull to one side for the lock gates to close. It is amazing to watch this pilot and the deckhands quickly and smoothly move their barges and towboat into and out of this lock.
