OurDailyChallenge "The Mail"
We don't have door to door delivery, so most folks in Stayner have a lock box where we can pick up our mail 24/7. This lobby is relatively new and all new boxes were installed during recent renovations. You can see the change in the floor where the lobby was extended.

The Berendrecht lock is the largest lock in the World. It measures 500m in length by 68m in width with a depth of 13.58 meters. It gives acces for large ocean vessels from the River Schelde to the port of Antwerp on the right bank of the River.
Up to its opening in 1989, the adjacent Zandvliet lock held the title of biggest lock in the World. It has the same length but a width of ‘only’ 50m. In 2016 even the Berendrecht lock will lose the title to the Deurganck lock which is now being built on the left bank of the River Schelde. The new lock will have the same width and length but a depth of 17,80m.
