Richard Trepagnier, the son of a former locksman takes us on a tour of Plaquemine Locks. The Locks were built at the turn of the 20th century to allow water travel between the Mississippi River and Bayou Plaquemine. It was the largest construction project in Louisiana at the time and designed by George Goethals, the same man who engineered the Panama Canal. The Locks closed in 1961, but has been preserved as a state historic site.
