The sternwheel paddleboat Valley Gem taking position inside Devol's Dam lock #2 on the Muskingum River above Marietta. The wife and I took a three hour lock tour of the Muskingum River aboard the boat.
As previously mention the outing was arrange by the over 60's lunch club and we started in Ware chugging down to just pass Hardmead Lock, winding just before Stanstead Lock and return back to Ware. We enjoyed a nice cream tea and pleasant views. Personally I would have like to help with the locking but I did enjoy an easy time.
The boat we travelled in was twice the width of a narrow boat, designed once to carry cargo. The boat was professionally manage by the Lee & Sort Boat Company Ltd with the crew being a credit to the Company. I will upload some pictures of the boat in a day or two as I do not want to dump my shoots en mass.
On the photography side I have been very pleased with the Olympus and Nikon film cameras, the only concern is the low quality of the scans which are reasonable for the cost but leave plenty of information behind. On checking the negs I feel they are reasonable exposed but look thin and overexposed before editing. As I have just purchased a new computer and scanner feel that will improve the quality. The new gear will not be operational until the end of September so this is as good as it gets for now.
Photo Details:
Camera: Olympus Superzoom 110
Film Size: 35mm
Processing: Kodak C41
Scanning: Local low resolution Kodak scan.
No other details known.
Trying out film again has been a success, giving a new dimension to my work but whether I will go completely to film is unlikely due to the cost. I am factoring in that one week in four will be my limit.
The Weir
Teddington Lock is a complex of three locks and a weir on the River Thames between Ham and Teddington, it was first built in 1810.
The limit of legal powers between the Port of London Authority, the navigation authority downstream to the North Sea and that upstream to small headwaters of the river, the Environment Agency, is marked nearby by an obelisk on the "Surrey" (towpath, right) bank.
The weir named Teddington Weir marks the river's usual tidal limit and is the lowest on the Thames. This lock is the lowest full-tide lock and second lowest of all-tide locks on the Thames.
The complex of civil engineering or infrastructure in essence consists of a large long weir and three locks: a conventional launch lock in regular use, very large barge lock and a small skiff lock. The barge lock was made to accommodate long barges, steamers or passenger ferries and has an additional set of gates half-way to operate more quickly for shorter craft. The staggered structures incorporate two reinforced narrow islands. The upper island is traversed by and accessible by the lock gates or Teddington Lock Footbridge.
The Teddington Lock Footbridges are two footbridges over the River Thames in England, situated just upstream of Teddington Lock at Teddington. There is a small island between the bridges.
The two footbridges were built between 1887 and 1889, funded by donations from local residents and businesses. They replaced a ferry which gave its name to Ferry Road at Teddington. The southern bridge consists of a suspension bridge crossing the weir stream and linking the island to Teddington. The northern bridge is an iron girder bridge crossing the lock cut and linking the island to Ham on the Surrey bank.
The footbridges are both Grade II listed
"When you sit on something for so long you can't see beyond it. It's all you can see, so you become locked in it." (Anthony Hemingway)
The Stewart J. Cort has cleared the Poe Lock and its four EMD V-20 645s are powering up for the long trip across Lake Superior, most likely for either Taconite Harbor or Superior.

This young couple stops to watch a towboat lock through at Lock & Dam 15 at Rock Island, Illinois. This is the Government Bridge swing span, one of the largest in the world, along with the largest roller dam in the world (just out of frame to the left).
Nice old Chubb lock seen while walking around the outskirts of Wells Cathedral. My entry for #49 in 111 pictures in 2011 -"lock/keys"
This is another view of the south chamber of Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 23 (Alexander's Lock). Lock 23 was a double chamber lock opened at the beginning of the 1842 navigation season, replacing the single chamber Cinton's Ditch Lock 26, which was located nearby. Lock 23 raised and lowered boats eight feet. During the busiest seasons, boats passed through this lock once every five minutes. Competition from the railroads spurred several efforts to improve the canal. Many locks, including Lock 23 (in 1889-90)were lengthened (the south chamber) to increase traffic. The canal was eventually abandoned -- in 1918, upon the completion of the Barge Canal. The General Electric Co. purchased the land from the state, then donated it to the Town of Rottedam in the 1950's. By the 1990's the lock was almost obscured by the overgrowth. In 1999 the faculty and the students of Union College's Dept. of Civil Engineering worked on cleaning up the site and doing some reconstruction. The Mohawk-Hudson Bike Trail is built on the old towpath and passes right by the lock. Lock 23 is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is located near the intersection of Rice Road and Schermerhorn Road in Rotterdam,NY
This is a beautiful lock and key set that I saw in the medieval section of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I love how elaborate the key is.
Members of the U.S.-Romania team take part in Exercise Locked Shields 2023 at the Morgantown Readiness Center in Morgantown, West Virginia. The West Virginia National Guard, under the leadership of the Defense Information Security Agency, served as host for more than 180 technical cyber experts and supporting representatives from various federal and state agencies to compete on behalf of the U.S.-Romania team in the world’s largest international cyber defense exercise, run virtually by the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence in Tallinn, Estonia.

Lock No58 on a restored section of the Chesterfield Canal at Retford.
Built in 1777 the Chesterfield Canal known locally as 'Cuckoo Dyke', is widely recognised as one of the most beautiful and varied waterways in England, runing for 46 miles from the River Trent to the middle of Chesterfield, linking the counties of Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire and Derbyshire.
After the canal was formally closed in 1961 it is thanks to the Chesterfield Canal Society formed in 1976 and since 1997 the Chesterfield Canal Trust that this canal is mostly all navigable and with us today.
