The St Lawrence Seaway is a system of locks, canals and channels that allows for ocean going ships to travel from the Atlantic Ocean to the western end of Lake Superior, a distance of 3,750 kms. The Canadian stamp shows a compressed view of the 15 locks with the seven on the right on the St Lawrence River, the Welland Canal in the middle, and the Great Lakes and the locks at Sault Ste Marie on Lake Superior. The American stamp shows an aerial view of the route with the mouth of the St Lawrence River on the bottom right.For Sunday Stamps - your choice

I'm rather fond of lock systems (and canals) and I'm looking at that flight on the stamp and thinking how amazing to see an ocean going ship rise up the height.
My choice this week is here
I have been known to go for a drive simply to watch the ships pass through the Welland Canal.
I can only marvel at the stamps and the engineering feat which created the St Lawrence Seaway.
