Beschreibung:
Fort Edward, NY, USA. "The Flight" (today called "The Combine") is a series of five locks on the old Glens Falls Feeder Canal which raised/lowered canal boats a total of 55 vertical feet (16.76 m). Built in 1845, this series of locks replaced the original timber locks of the 1820s and '30s. These locks are 15 feet wide (4.57m) and 100 feet long (30.48m); these dimensions controlled the size of canal boats in the Champlain Canal system so long as these locks were in use. Water from this branch canal (pulled from above the falls in Glens Falls) fed into the highest point of the Champlain Canal, providing a source to replenish water lost both back into the Hudson River to the south and into Lake Champlain to the north.
