Not a lock but a LIFT…

Day 21: Friday, May 19, 2023

Impressive engineering - first time for a Vikingship

Today we reached the massive ship lift on the Elbe Seitenkanal. That is a scary piece of engineering, lifting an entire section of the canal, including ships approximately 38 meters!! We waited a few hours to get access as they (for good reason) prioritize the commercial ships. But we got to ride alone - and our 20.7 meter ship is but a small fish in a big pond in this construction. Please see our live stream from the lift in our YouTube channel: Saga Asia 2023.
