Cocoli a little town on the west bank
that came about because of the 3rd Set of Locks project.

The Cocoli Lake was the result of work on the 3rd Set of Locks, which was abandon because of the United States entered WWII.

Here we see some typical equipment being used on the project.

Here is the picture of the 3rd Shift.

This was the type of housing found in Cocoli. Many of the bachelors lived in 12 & 16 family unit versions of the above 4-family type.



Cocoli below in the late 90's... it is almost all gone now.

A final thought to ponder:

To believe.....to reach.....to strive is to keep a dream alive. If you use each today as a chance to reach out, to learn something more of what life's all about....... If you follow your dreams, strive to make them come true..... Then life's sure to bring all the best things to you.
