Captain's Table

摘要

There are many young river mariners that have never had the chance to navigate the Kentucky River. The Kentucky is a small but beautiful river that enters the Ohio River at Carrolton, Ky. Stretching back to the early days of our country, the Kentucky River has a rich navigation history, with 14 locks built in the 19th and 20th centuries. Unfortunately, the river was closed to navigation in 2007 when Lock 1 through Lock 4 were shut down. Recreational boaters could still access and use the river, but commercial vessels that relied on the locks to transit were shut out.
