The flag is the front of this barge. It is coming through the lock (other side) unfortunately it was the other side so we could only see the boat as the water filled into the lock and raised the boat. This particular barge was carrying iron Ore. Most of the ones that come through Lake Michigan are carrying the iron ore. I wish we could have gotten a better picture but I guess if you googled it you could see the full affect. Regardless, trust me when I say it was quite cool to see. The size of these vessels are massive. This particular one was 1000ft. HUGE!!!!! Have a great day! S/J
