Kids…want to see how a lock works?

Posted on September 5, 2012 by oxleysadventures

Here is a look at how a lock works. Ships enter a ‘lock system’ in order to move from one sea level to another level. Take a look…

Almost through…the whole process probably takes about an hour and a half….

Here you can see the water level changing ….

Success!

Kids….quiz on Friday! Just kidding…:)!

    Karel and Bud, I am so enjoying this adventure through you! Thanks for sharing! Wondering if you have had to battle rough seas or sea sickness?
