Support for air draft gauge, Manchester Ship Canal
A wire is slung between two towers on opposite banks of the canal. If a ship touches the wire, it is too tall to fit under a nearby bridge.

Barton swing aqueduct
The vessel arrives, just two minutes after the road bridge had been swung. This is a regular passenger trip, every Sunday, along the ship canal, complete with commentary. The trip runs upstream one week and downstream the next. This downstream trip we would have expected to go follow the right hand channel (rule of the waterway keep right) but it went left, the far side from us. Oh well (or should that be Irwell?)
