Locks certainly are fascinating, particularly if you are on a large 
boat.  When Joan and I were in Vienna we took a trip on the (not blue) 
Danube which involved going through one of the big locks.  It was 
amusing to see a little river cruiser that came in behind us dwarfed by 
the trip boat we were on.  Those locks are big as they need to 
accommodate the cargo ships that use the river.
