Not a structure, but key to making the canal system work. Lock operators carry on a long and proud tradition of ensuring that the locks look and run well. They operate the locks for boaters, maintain equipment, keep records of the number and types of boats passing through the system, and ensure safe passage for thousands of boaters each year.
