Shipping

This is one of the mega-barges that use the Bonneville Locks.  There is just a couple of feet of clearance on either side. The lock is 675 ft long and 86 ft wide.   Adding 60 ft of water to reach the upper water level requires 28 million gallons.  It takes only 9 minutes to acvomaccom this.  Do the math.  It's pretty incredible.
