The ROYAL ties up at the first lock wall, waiting for downbound traffic to clear. The real beginning of the INLAND SEAS cruise was the ROYAL ' S arrival at the first locks above Montreal. In order for the ROYAL to transit the five Great Lakes she had to climb the Seaway by a series of 16 huge locks. These locks were the steps of the Seaway stairway, raising her anywhere from 2 to 50 feet each time for a total raise to 602 feet above sea level. The locks of the Seaway were quite different sailing than the ROYAL was used to. Differing from the Panama Canal in that the ship had to be maneuvered into each lock under power, however, as usual the ROYAL came through with laurels. We arrived in MONTREAL ready and eager to tackle the first two locks, St. Lambert and St. Catherine, there was liberty waiting on the other side. Here we learned the first requirement necessary for sailing the INLAND SEAS, PATIENCE. We dropped anchor and waited for our call to enter the first lock. Three days later it came and we were underway to become LOCKM ASTERS. Entering the first lock, a new phase in the ROYALS history. 1 Inside the lock, lines over, waiti ng for our first raise, 1!!

♦ t THE REVIEW y y After completing the transit of the first two locks, the ROYAL anchored in Lake St. Louis for the greatest event of the cruise --review by President Eisenhower and Her Majesty the Queen of England. Many days of planning and practice had prepared her for this day. A group of about 15 ships, 8 American and 7 Canadian, lined up to take the review. They were the best of the fleets, smart, shipshape and ready. With all ships at full dress and manning the rails we awaited the arrival of HMY BRITANNIA. To the thunderous roll of a 15 ship 21-gun salute she arrived. We of the ROYAL will long remember the Yacht passing close aboard to port as the ROYAL ' S ere sounded off with HIP -HIP -HOORAY, HIP -HIP -HOORAY , HIP -HIP -HOORAY. AS J 1
