Locked Rivers
To make traversing the rivers of Europe accessible and seamless, water locks were added. A lock is an elevator with which ships can be raised or lowered to overcome the water level disparities between different sections of the river. Europe’s waterways are filled with locks and the Main-Danube Canal alone has 16 locks, some as high as 25 metres. The invention of the water locks is a true engineering marvel with Italian scientist and artist, Leonardo da Vinci, providing clever designs to perfect the process. Watching your Captain expertly manoeuvre through these narrow locks is a treat.
