Model of the Lock for the Basin at Flushing, Rijkswerf Vlissingen, 1849 Canvas Print
Construction model of a lock with three pairs of doors for a dock. The model shows the improvements and repairs to the lock floor that were carried out in 1847-1848. The lock gates are operated with long trees to cape guards on shore, so-called pushers. The flood doors on the sea side of the lock open outwards; They don't have spouts. The other two pairs of doors are ebb doors and open inwards; the middle pair has low spouts, the inner pair has spouts just below the low tide level. Between the flood doors and the middle ebb doors there is an raised threshold as well as on the lock side of the inner ebb doors. On both sides of the lock, a corridor runs just above the low water level of the outer harbour to the dock; these corridors have two underground doors operated with capes upstairs. The middle doors are sluices and serve to keep the port at depth together with the subterranean corridors or 'sewers'. Scale 1:50 (scale on model).
