Cold weather operation

It is possible that some of the cameras will be shutting down over the next few days due to cold weather protection systems. Once the weather warms up above zero, they should automatically turn back on.

Happy New Year!

Just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

2016 was a great year with the Tall Ships Event certainly the highlight.  However, there was one event during the summer that narrowly missed being a profound catastrophe when the Algoma Guardian was snagged in the middle of entry into the canal when a powerful storm blew into town with near 100 MPH winds.

The skill of the crew saved the ship and possibly the bridge during a 5 minute struggle to pass through the canal.  Here is the post from that night.


See story from the News Tribune about the crew and bridge operator

I am looking forward to 2017 and really appreciate all the kind remarks and financial support of out various projects throughout the year.

Best Regards,
Den
