The main body of the flotilla organised by the Inland Waterways Association to mark the Centenary of the Ship Canal, is already safely in the smaller Latchford Lock - but some of the contingent which had followed on from Ellesmere Port, was still in the narrowest section of the Canal when this ocean-going ship was allowed out of the other lock.
