[QUOTE="Mark B, post: 605354, member: 61411"] That seems like part of the answer. The other part is that the canal is not actually a "concrete bathtub", which is enclosed on both ends (capturing a set volume of water). When a ship enters the canal, the water it displaces is free to exit at either end, keeping the canal water level the same. If it really was a 1km bathtub full of water and you dropped a ship in, the mass of both the ship and water would be felt on the supporting structure. (As with the fly in the bottle) edit: BTW, that is cool. I'd not seen that before. [/QUOTE]
