At Peterborough!
The Peterborough Lift Lock is a boat lift located on the Trent Canal in the city of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, and is Lock 21 on the Trent-Severn Waterway.
For many years, the lock’s dual lifts were the highest hydraulic boat lifts in the world, raising boats 65 ft (20 m). This was a considerable accomplishment in the first years of the 20th century, when conventional locks usually only had a 7 ft (2.1 m) rise.

A great experience on the whole with reduced seating and covid measures in place! Many a reason to smile – travelling after the pandemic…
Have a beautiful day!

Very cool name for a canal 😉 I don’t think I have ever seen a lift lock, only the more conventional kind, like in the last photo.

Oh ya! Just realised it shares your name 😃 This is my first lift lock too and was impressed by the engineering marvel built in 1904 still in working condition! Thank you 😊
