I forgot to mention another piece of equipment between Snell and Eisenhower locks, the Tug Sanna.

The Jason and J Krab are between the Snell and Eisenhower locks not too sure what their function is. The Canadian Provider entering the beauharnois canal at this time, 1000am.

Seem to vaguely recall hearing something about dredging through that channel a while back. Was that what I saw in the darkness? Anyone have a picture it?

Also where did the Canadian Provider go? Was hoping to see her today since I thought I saw her transiting downbound on the vessel map earlier, but she never showed. Did she end up going to the Prescott elevator instead of going further down the Seaway?

Thanks
