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

- |* P0 K H R+ C5 l- f% L7 sos.tvboxnow.comThe 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.os.tvboxnow.com: y" G& ^( o; v7 S9 E+ h- A
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. os.tvboxnow.com& d/ T/ R3 i( q0 n2 c- l+ Q
