In 1926 there was a big freeze up on the Great Lakes, 150 freighters were frozen into the ice below the locks at Sault Ste Marie. The icebreaking ferry Chief Wawatam was brought up from Mackinac along with 5 tugboats. They worked for three weeks to free 126 of the boats, the remaining boats were stuck till spring.
This year the locks are closed for maintenance from Jan 15 till March 25.
