Lockage M/V
Margaret Dawson and
Henry C. Ogram - They are leaving old Lock 29. This is unique since it is showing the "needles" used in the dams during low-water period. When the boats were operating together, the
Margaret Dawson was controlled from the pilot house of the
Henry C. Ogram. Prior to Ashland's acquisition, they were operated on the Missouri River.

Lockage Huge 20-or-more barge tows, (some longer than the world's largest ocean liner, the Queen Elizabeth) similar to that above easily pass as a single unit through the 1200-foot locks of the Ohio's new dams. This operation requires a half-hour or less - a minimum saving of one hour per lockage over the time required to pass through the older 600-foot lock chambers.

Lockage 6th of 6-photo sequence of upbound lockage of petroleum tow of
Scott Chotin through 600x110-foot main lock at Locks and Dam No. 41, Louisville, Kentucky, July 12, 1951: Tow is being raised to upper pool. When this is done, first 2 barges will be pulled out of lock (by winch or helper boat) and tow will be reassembled. Structure at left houses machinery for one of 2 valves (called Stoney sluice gates) which control flow of water into lock. There are two emptying valves at lower end of lock. Auxiliary lock can be seen at right.

Lockage Here a 21-barge tow of miscellaneous cargo is in the process of locking through a 600-foot chamber of an existing lock. In order to transit the lock, the tow has been broken into two sections and it will require approximately 1 1/2 hours to make the passage. Another tow waits downstream to lock. The modernization program aims to eliminate or minimize this type of inconvenience.
