The floating bollard
When tying up to a lock the Canadians simply throw you a 50 foot line and say hold on. The Americans have a much better system. As you see in the picture they have floating bollards which you tie a stern and bow line to. Your job is then limited to pushing off. The Canadian locks you must pull and push at the same time. Pull the 50 foot line and push off the wall.
