MASSENA â A month into Theodore Tooâs journey from Nova Scotia to a new home in Ontario, the smiling tugboat passed through U.S. waters of the St. Lawrence River in Massena.
On the top tier of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Visitorsâ Center observation deck alone, about 75 people watched the replica television star pass through the Eisenhower Lock on Thursday morning. Another 200 people lined the lower fences along the south side of the canal, and dozens more waved from the overlook north of the lock.
The Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation reopened the visitorsâ center last week after a year-long COVID-19 pandemic closure. Doors to the observation area were opened early Thursday to accommodate Theodore Tooâs fans and curious ship watchers.
