THE IRON SCOW \u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\nThe iconic Iron Scow has been a permanent fixture in the upper Niagara River for over 100 years.\n\nOn August 6, 1918, the dumping scow broke loose from its towing tug about 1.6 kilometres upriver and became lodged in the river\u2019s shallow rapids. Since then, high winds forced the scow to turn its position a century later and shift further toward the brink of the falls.\n\nWhile still lodged in the powerful rapids of the upper Niagara River, the future of the legendary scow remains uncertain.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.niagaraparks.com\/visit\/heritage\/the-iron-scow\/” button_text=”Learn More” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ module_class=”column2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”August 6, 1918″ use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||900″ icon_color=”#404040″ icon_placement=”left” image_icon_width=”48px” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ header_font=”|700|||||||” custom_margin=”||75px|” header_font_size_tablet=”” header_font_size_phone=”18px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” icon_font_size=”48px” global_colors_info=”{}”]
