Maryhill Locks is a flight of five locks on John Smeaton's Forth & Clyde Canal, which links the east and west coasts of Scotland. The flight drops the waterway from Lock 21 at the west end of the canal's summit stretch to Lock 25, 12.2m below in Glasgow.
The dimensions of the locks in this flight are similar to those used by Smeaton on earlier parts of the canal at the east coast — 22.6m long and 6.1m wide. Each lock in the Maryhill flight is designed to hold enough water in the basin between it and the next lock to allow more than one vessel to use each lock at once, making the the system more flexible.
The Gatun Locks (1913) on the Panama Canal near Colón, Panama, allow ships to access Gatun Lake. The cruise ship Carnival Pride is seen in the background waiting to enter the locks.
At the Makapu'u Light House in Oahu, Hawaii. There's this fence with thousands of locks on it, I loved how the corner of the rail was pointing towards the lighthouse. Enjoy.

After watching fishermen do their thing and police do their thing we ended up at the Erie Canal and took a cruise through locks 34 and 35. The water will rise to the green doors taking about 8 minutes or so and then the gates open and the boat moves through this lock to the next one.... two in a row. Fascinating process. Reverse on the way back. I was amazed at how fast the water comes in and goes out. These are not the original locks but there is one right next to this where you can see the original. The Erie Canal is still in use today and runs from the Hudson River in Albany New York all the way to Buffalo on Lake Erie. Well.... I think the rooster woke my campers up as they are starting to come in to thaw out (it was 48 degrees last night! (8.8 celsius)
Seen from a cruise ship, the bulk carrier Kouju Lily exits Gatún Lake via the series of three historic Gatún Locks to enter on the Atlantic side. The three locks together lower ships 85 ft (26m) when proceeding in this direction. These locks were opened in 1914.
Another set of locks began commercial operation in 2016. The new locks allow transit of larger, New Panamax ships, which have a greater cargo capacity than the previous locks were capable of handling.

The Kouju Lily, built in 2011, has a length of 197 m (646 ft) and a beam of 32 m (105 ft).
