Huge lock in Antwerp! When all the boats entered there were 3 like this one in the picture and another 5 smaller boats behind. As the road travels over the lock gates they devised a unique system of making sure the traffic flowed at all times. The entrance of the lock gates lifted to allow the boats in and the traffic was diverted to the exit gates. Then when the boats needed to leave the lock the road pulled back and the traffic was again diverted to the gate at the entrance.
About Us
- Ian and Irene Jameison
- In 1977 we hired our first narrowboat from Anglo Welsh at Market Harborough.From that moment our destiny was set. In 2006 we finally purchased our own brand new 57' narrowboat which we named 'Free Spirit'. Our aim is to travel the length and breadth of all the navigable rivers and canals of the UK. This will be our story as it unfolds.
