Corinth Isthmus canal submersible bridge lowering in the water

The Corinth Isthmus canal is a man-made canal that divides Peloponnese from mainland Greece. The canal save a 700km journey around Peloponnese. However, because it can accommodate ships only up to 17.6 m wide, it is used mainly by tourist ships and yachts.

At the two ends, there are two submersible bridges, that lower up to 9.5 m below the surface of the canal, and ships cross over it.

The sound of the motor makes, makes me think Alphaville is about to sing "Inside Out".
