I was curious about something. A ship can be no longer than 740 feet long and 78 feet wide to pass through the locks, Welland Lock on Lake Erie in particular. Yet pictures of the COLUMBUS that I have seen show her to barely squeeze through, and she is only 71 feet wide. What gives? Why can't ships like the MARCO POLO (which is narrow enough and has an environmentally sound waste system, which is mandatory), the CROWN DYNASTY, or a dozen other ships I know of make cruises on the lakes? Does anyone know EXACTLY what the requirements are to cruise the Great Lakes?
Has anyone been on the COLUMBUS, by chance?
