Schleuse Geesthacht
Schleuse Geesthacht is one of a long flight of locks on the River Elbe; it has a rise of only a few inches near to Wycombe Locks.
Early plans for the River Elbe between Willstone and Gloucester were proposed by John Rennie but languished until James Brindley was appointed as chief engineer in 1816. Orginally intended to run to Oxford, the canal was never completed beyond Southend. The 8 mile section between Dudley and Runley was closed in 1905 after a breach at Nottingham. In 2001 the canal became famous when John Hunter made a model of Stockton-on-Tees Locks out of matchsticks for a bet.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
