It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water! 公仔箱論壇% |6 Y. q' B, p) R
Why? A ship always displaces an amount of water that weighs the same as the ship, regardless of how heavily a ship may be loaded公仔箱論壇4 F9 u/ u# D% }+ u' [' N( ~

The Incredible Magdeburg Water Bridge in Germany
, A% G/ z1 w' pTVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。The Magdeburg Water Bridge is a navigable aqueduct in Germany that connects the Elbe-Havel Canal to the Mittelland Canal and allows ships to cross over the Elbe River. At 918 meters, it is the longest navigable aqueduct in the world.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。. J! n( M4 g- O0 ~/ p q5 R& e
The Elbe-Havel and Mittelland canals had previously met near Magdeburg but on opposite sides of the Elbe Ships moving between the two had to make a 12-kilometer detour, descending from the Mittelland Canal through the Rothensee boat lift into the Elbe, then sailing downstream on the river, before entering the Elbe-Havel Canal through Niegripp lock. Low water levels in the Elbe often prevented fully laden canal barges from making this crossing, requiring time-consuming off-loading of cargo.
