The St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation has begun their seasonal removal of channel markers from the St. Lawrence River throughout the Thousand Islands Region.
Each winter, prior to the closing of the Seaway, tugs Robinson Bay and Performance make their way along the St. Lawrence River lifting channel markers from the icy cold water and placing them on a work barge, which takes them to Clayton, where the markers are hoisted onto the Thousand Islands Regional Dock for winter storage.
Ship traffic will continue despite a number of markers being removed. The St. Lawrence Seaway is scheduled to close on Dec. 29 at 11:59 p.m. A 2012 opening date will be announced over the winter months.
