The Union Canal in Scotland has a pretty interesting lock mechanism for moving
boats between two levels, called the Falkirk Wheel.
Heres an animation to show it off:
Boats move between the top and bottom levels via the wheel.
More images are available here,

here.
The official
website has some more info.
Note: I didnt take these photos - I can only attribute them to Rosco from
another discussion board.
