Sault Ste. Marie Locks?

Looks like the boat is in a lock??

The locks at Sault Ste. Marie,

[AuMorgan82110-migration]

The locks at Sault Ste. Marie are depicted on the $4 note. It was revealed after printing that these actually were the American locks pictured, and not the Canadian ones.

[SamD]

The face of the 1900 & 1902 $4 Dominion of Canada notes show the Sault Ste. Marie locks which connect Lake Superior and Lake Huron. The 1900 note shows the American side, which after some embarrassment, was corrected to show the Canadian side on the 1902 note.

 

 

The back shows Canadian Parliament Buildings and Library from Nepean Point which could also be construed as a visual navigational aid.... whereas the locks actually raise and lower the ships for the navigational passage ....

It was really hard to find a zoomable pic of that note, so I have no idea. So I am going to guess---- A Tugboat?
