The Falkirk Wheel is impressive but I am much more impressed with another British boat lift, the Anderton Lift on the Trent & Mersey canal. Built in 1875 to move boats between the canal and the River Weaver some 50' feet below, it is still in operation today. The painting shows the lift in operation during the early 1900s, the two photos show the lift in recent years.
