If that doesnt work...
A lock is the connection between two different lakes that are at two different sea levels. In order for a ship to transfer from one lake at 100 feet above sea level, to another lake that is 200 feet above sea level, the ship must expertly steer into the small lock corridor, and sit in the water that is at 100 feet above sea level. Once the ship is in the corridor, the large heavy, sealed, bulk doors close, locking the ship in. Under all the water within the corridor, there are many hydraulic pumps to fill up the corridor. Once that space is filled, it will be even with lake 2, which is at 200 feet above sea level. The bulk doors open, and out goes the ship. Without locks, we would not be able to receive goods from other countries.I find locks very interesting. Whenever I go up to Burleigh Falls, I always get an Ice Cream and watch the ships come and go through the locks. Lock three in Welland is large, and has many viewing decks. One day, you should watch one. I hope we all helped you! Of course, the internet sites they provided would be of much more help, I thought I would post what I knew...

Or maybe it just protects the good little ships from the bad ships. 
Gone for a while. Be back when I'm back. |

It goes... click!
We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit. |
