Wilhelminasluis, Lock in Zaandam, Netherlands
The Wilhelminasluis lock features a chamber measuring 156 meters in length and 14 meters in width, with sill depths of 4.7 meters on both sides.
Named after Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, this lock became essential for maritime trade development in the Zaan region during the industrial period.
