[edit] One of the largest locks in the World?
The article currently reads:
- "The navigation lock No. 2 on the third channel was, when built, one of the largest in the world."
At 280 meters it is slightly longer than a Seawaymax lock. But its depth, at five metres, is just 60% that of the St Lawrence Seaway. The largest vessel to traverse the Seaway was 28,000 tons. There are over a dozen locks on the Seaway. The Panama Canal, Manchester Ship Canal and the Kiel Canal also have larger capacity locks. -- Geo Swan 06:46, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- The North Sea Canal has a lock 400 x 50 x 15 meters. Another instance of a lock larger than the Chinese lock. The assertion that it is one of the largest in the world should be removed or amended. -- Geo Swan 18:08, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
