There have been a series of Welland Canals, connecting Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. The dimensions of the locks on a 1862 canal were 142 x 26 x 10 feet.[1] The dimension of the locks on the current canal are 740 x 78 x 26 feet. There are no locks needed to travel from Lake Erie to Lake St Clair, to Lake Huron and Lake Michigan. Vessels must transit one lock to travel from Lake Huron to Lake Superior. There are several parallel locks on the St Mary's River. The largest lock is significantly larger than the locks on the Welland Canal.
