What A Neat Idea,

a bridge that sinks!

what a perfect way for boat owners that have tall masts to sail upriver, 

the bridge is in the Corinth Canal in Greece cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnesian peninsula from the Greek mainland, connecting the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea, built between 1881 and 1893, the Corinth Canal is considered a great technical achievement for its time, 

although the canal saves the 700-kilometer journey around the Peloponnese, it is too narrow for modern ocean freighters, as it can only accommodate ships of a width of up to 16.5 meters and a draught of 7.3 meters. the canal is nowadays mostly used by tourist ships, with 11,000 ships using the canal every year,


but what a great idea for other waterways, well I thought it was.
