Under the category of things you probably didn't expect to hear today, is "after I finished ironing my water," I decided to put it in place since it will be a couple of days at least before I install the canal banks.  Paper, poster board, a lot of materials warp when you use water based paint.  A spray of water on the back side and an iron on its lowest setting flattens things back out again.

I also want some kind of boat down there.  I'm leaning towards a tug or small yacht.  Scroll till you see a tug named "Hermes": https://www.shipmodell.com/index_files/0PLAN7A3.html#8S

There's also a little beauty named "Schaarhorn'.  https://www.shipmodell.com/index_files/0PLAN7A1.html

I settled on something you probably wouldn't expect to see in a canal.  Panama maybe but not the Ohio and Erie!  Laugh

When all else fails, go with what you like.  Wink
