Why? A ship always displaces an amount of water that weighs the same as the ship, regardless of how heavily a ship may be loaded9 n% ^- |" z* V* t; h @

The Incredible Magdeburg Water Bridge in Germanytvb now,tvbnow,bttvb$ n q* u! v6 c1 T, M" B! T8 k
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.公仔箱論壇0 u' C8 V- H( k& Y: V5 I7 |- r
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. 公仔箱論壇% \- ~0 P& x& J/ e- F1 n
