| 摘要： | As our antiquated maritime infrastructure crumbles and waits, like a dry and twisted old sponge ready to slowly soak up whatever funding ultimately trickles out of the federal spigot, I wonder if it will amount to any more than the usual practice of continued insufficient and deferred maintenance, followed by immediate crisis management. In particular our critical but perennially underappreciated inland waterways have suffered profound neglect for many decades. But there is reason to have some modest hope that things may be improving (at least slightly) as the replacement, repair and upgrading of some of our nation's most dilapidated locks are finally receiving some significant funding. In particular the Great Lake's crucial Soo Locks (located on the St. Marys River, the only water connection between Lake Superior and the other Great Lakes) has finally received full funding from Congress to complete repairs and a new lock. Despite their national importance, there hasn't been any notable attention paid to the Soo Locks complex since before the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald in November 1975. |
