The town of Port Colborne Lies at the southern end of the Welland Ship Canal on Lake Erie, Canada. The shallowest of the Great Lakes, Lake Erie often freezes over in the winter. When the ice breaks up in the spring, the shipping season starts again usually in April. Here the pilot boat is being made ready, this boat takes a pilot out to the ships to help them navigate the ship canal from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario.

North America includes Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Gotham City.
The region temporarily existed as a Protectorate of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I, with its capital being the city of San Francisco. Sadly, this term of benevolent ebullience lasted a brief two decades and ended c. 1880.
The United States is now the dominant country of North America. It arose as a nation only 225 years ago after a successful rebellion against the British government under King George III.
From a distance, it appears that the eastern coastlines of North and South America fit exactly into the west coast of Africa. In fact, about 250 million years ago these continents really were all connected in one land mass that we have named Pangaea.
With such a foundation in tectonic unity, there is no doubt that someday soon the people on every continent of earth will realize their fundamental similarities. Expect massive leaps in creative output in your area!
