Why? A ship always displaces an amount of water that weighs the same as the ship, regardless of how heavily a ship may be loaded2 s( n+ T# P. A0 \. H" y; s

/ [5 _' P) v5 H$ y9 j2 n, ZThe 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.
4 S' I) [% p2 w$ B0 X* a8 x6 i3 ]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. 0 Z2 U$ i2 U/ r: q9 S L+ D
