Fontinettes boat lift
The Fontinettes Boat Lift was built in 1888 on the Canal de Neufosse and connected the River Aa and the Neufossé Canal in Arques, near Saint-Omer in the Pas-de-Calais to connect in France. It was capable of lifting vessels of 300 tonnes displacement. It was designed to avoid the need to use five locks which took some 90 minutes to change height by 13 metres. It was inspired by the similar Anderton Boat Lift built in 1875 in Cheshire, England.
