THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, July 8, 1964 PETERBOROUGH LOCK 60 YEARS 0 Giant Hydraulic Liftlock Marks 60th Anniversary PETERBOROUGH, Ont. (CP) The world's largest hydraulic liftlock, a gigantic structure that lifts, and lowers boats 65 feet, is 60 years old this year. Opened July 9, 1904, the lift- lock, built to overcome a 65-foot } difference in water levels on the Trent Canal, remains Peter: borough's major tourist attrac- tion. The lock plays an essential part in a series of navigable rivers and lakes connected by short canals and forming a continuous system of navigation for 203 miles from Lake On- tario to Washago at the north- ern end of Lake Couchiching. Smaller boats may even pro- ceed down the Severn River to Georgian Bay and into Lake Huron, : The plans for the liftlock were prepared just before the turn of the century by R. B. Rogers, a native of Peterborough who was superintendent engineer of the canal. He had seen similar 1 locks in England, Belgium and France. Excavation work at Peter- Would 007 Be Found borough Liftlock was completed in 1899. The substructure con- tains 26,000 yards of concrete. The breas: swall is 30 feet thick, 80 feet high and 126 feet long at the base. The towers are about 100 feet from top to bot- tom.
