The eight locks connecting Lake Erie and Lake Ontario are part of the Welland Canal, designed to facilitate navigation between the two lakes. These locks enable ships to bypass the Niagara falls, allowing for smoother and safer passage for commercial shipping and recreational vessels. The canal was constructed to enhance trade and transportation in the Great Lakes region, accommodating the elevation difference between the lakes.
