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 ^) C& H4 _+ S% P& Q0 L ) i# q' Q1 o+ M( H6 E I, Btvb now,tvbnow,bttvbTVBNOW 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。; n. ]+ j+ b" ? The Incredible Magdeburg Water Bridge in Germany& `) [# T* l- |3 ~4 N$ o9 e1 y
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! R. A- U; N+ h+ M, O1 u
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. 1 Q3 v4 T- w6 t" A& F7 Y5 n; O 8 W' Y6 n& [3 E6 W1 r. etvb now,tvbnow,bttvbConstruction of the water link was started as early as in the 1930s but due to the World War 2 and subsequent division of Germany the work remained suspended till 1997. The aqueduct was finally completed and opened to the public in 2003. 4 \+ B# E8 [5 W) P: O; x3 D公仔箱論壇os.tvboxnow.com4 |. m: K: `( a7 M0 t, n
