The Welland Canal Locks

The lock, with no ship, is full to the higher water level

A freighter enters from the high water side of the lock and the lock is sealed shut.

The water level in the lock is lowered 14 m, then the ship sails out the low water end.

Here the lock is empty, waiting for the next ship to enter.
