Where Canal gate collapsed. At least nine men were killed, twelve are in hospital badly crushed and several others were more or less seriously injured at Lock No. 6 of the new Welland canal to-day, when a 500-ton gate collapsed as it was being placed in position by derricks. At the TOP is shown Locks No. 5 and 6 with Lock No. 7 in the background. The depth of the canal at this point is 130.8 feet, almost the sa depth as the Horseshoe Falls. At the BOTTOM is a map showing where the accident occured. [Incomplete]

The new Welland canal is now 95 per cent completed, and it is expected that August, 1930, will witness the first large freighter navigating the famous twin-flight locks from Lake Erie to lake Ontario. The photographs here show: (1) 82-foot gates on western No. 5 twin-flight locks. [Incomplete]

Thirty - four grains boats held up in Welland Canal by Low Water. Above are seen views of some of the thirty-four grain boats which were held up in the Welland canal last week as a result of the unusually low water levels which have recently been brought about by the Chicago steal and other causes. Al though the vessels are loading more lightly than in previous years one or other of them nevertheless strikes bottom in the canal every so often, with the result that all traffic is tied up until they can be refloated. Thousands of dollars are thus being lost as a result of delays and curtailed cargoes in the case of the factories when water normally used for generating electrical power has to be diverted to raise the canal levels.

Winter work: Eric Ahermae, director of engineering on the Welland Canal, and his 400-man crew are racing against time to complete vital repairs to the 45-kilometre (26-mile) canal, which is drained of water at freeze-up time each year. The 50-year-old canal, which attracts thousands of summer sightseers, also attracts car thieves - at least 50 stolen cars were found on the muddy bottom this year.
