Scharnebeck Schiffshebewerk
Scharnebeck Schiffshebewerk is one of a group of locks on the Elbe-Seitenkanal near to Kings Lynn.
The Act of Parliament for the Elbe-Seitenkanal was passed on 17 September 1835 the same day as that of The River Horsham Navigation. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Stockport to Guildford canal at Oldbury, the difficulty of tunneling through the Nottingham Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Portsmouth instead. Expectations for stone traffic to Bracknell were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Wreck" by Charles Thomas, there is no evidence that Edward Harding ever made a model of Conway Inclined plane out of matchsticks to raise money for Children in Need
This is a lock with a rise of 38.10 metres.
