There's also a cool video of a cruise ship going down the canal from the boat's point of view here..

Wow: big locks! Anyone else travelled on the Wigan Canal? 26 locks in five miles of nasty North England...(not an enjoyable experience)

And that's just one day

deputydog: Dude, the cruise one was awesome. Submit it and I will upvote.

I think I'll do that

DeputyDog: Cool. Post the URL when it is up or else I will miss it (don't really check queue list).

Here it is...

Voted.

The thing too ya gotta remember, was built blood, sweat, and tears style, mostly tears for the poor bastards, in the days of shovels and chain-driven loaders.

And many died too.

What I think is cool about this vid id the few seconds where it turns from Day to Night and the speed at which the one boat at that point is moving. Any Idea how long it takes to drain or fill one of the locks?
