Summary
| Description |
English: Locks on Erie Canal at Lockport, NY. The canal follows the channel of a creek that had cut a ravine steeply down the Niagara escarpment, with two sets of five locks in a series.
The south "flight of five" locks were replaced by two much larger locks E34 and E35. The north "flight of five" lock chambers, pictured here, still remain as a spill way.
Nederlands: Sluizen op het Eriekanaal in Lockport, NY.
Het kanaal volgt een riviertje dat een diepe ravijn had uitgeslepen in de Niagara escarpment. Om dit hoogteverschil te overbruggen werden twee reeksen van vijf elkaar onmiddellijk opvolgende sluizen, de zgn. flight of five gebouwd. Het zuidelijke sluizencomplex werd vervangen door twee opeenvolgende sluizen. Het noordelijke complex wordt nog gebruikt om overtollig water te spillen. |
