I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. RCANAD_150601_05.JPG: Hydraulic Turbine Adjustable blade propeller type 35,000 hp, 74.5 ft. hd. 128.5 rpm Unit No. 3, Serial No. 183, Built 1954 Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock CO. Newport News, VA USA
2. RCANAD_150601_08.JPG: Roanoke Rapids Lake Trail Head: Nearby Points of Interest: (1) Roanoke Rapids Lake (at 0 Mile). Constructed in the early 1950s, Roanoke Rapids Lake is used for electricity production and recreation. The original Roanoke Canal continues approximately two miles west under the lake. (2) Spans Branch Culvert (at 0.4 Mile) An original culvert made by hand by stonemasons carried Spans Branch under the canal through a stone-arch tunnel> This is one of four culverts along the canal. (3) Power Canal Bulkhead (at 0.9 Mile) Remnants of the massive bulkhead for the "Power Canal" are located on the left. The power canal was much wider and deeper than the navigation canal and was only 8/10 mile in length. The navigation canal, on the right, was about 9 miles long. (4) The Roanoke Canal Museum (at 1.5 Mile) Explore the rich history of the Canal and the Roanoke Valley. The Canal had one upper lock, four middle locks and, for a short time, six wooden locks at Weldon. Portions of the middle locks used to lower loaded batteaux can be seen at the museum site.
Wikipedia Description: Roanoke Canal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roanoke Canal is a historic canal located near Roanoke Rapids, Halifax County, North Carolina. It was built as part of the Roanoke Navigation System and extends from Roanoke Rapids Lake southeast seven miles to the canal's return into the Roanoke River at Weldon, North Carolina. The Roanoke Navigation System was planned to connect the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. The earliest sections were built under the direction of civil engineer Hamilton Fulton. Extant structures include the middle or lift locks, the aqueduct (1821-1823), and the three-story brick mill (1892) and powerhouse (c. 1904).
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
