Locks are used in water transportation to move a ship from one level of water to another level.
One famous set of locks in in the Panama Canal. wiki encyclopedia says, "The Panama Canal Locks, which lift ships up 25.9 m (85 ft) to the main elevation of the Panama Canal...
http://www.eriecanal.org/locks.html has information on the Erie canal locks..."
