The Lock 23 - Morrisburg, ON

Off the municipality of Morrisburg, Ontario (Canada), under the St. Lawrence River, lies lock no. 23. This structure was once part of the seaway that links the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Great Lakes region. Built at the end of the 19th century, it was swallowed up at the end of the 1950s with the construction of the Cornwall dam.

As a diver, I decided to measure it and make it a virtual 3D model. These images illustrate the evolution of this project.
