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; M/ q% L7 c, Z% u' T

The Incredible Magdeburg Water Bridge in Germanytvb now,tvbnow,bttvb% ?9 \) d5 ^& A
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.
0 A, u" Y% }1 E5 _6 s1 m4 @- N3 @tvb now,tvbnow,bttvbThe 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.
