This idea goes along with the possible introduction of larger boats and ships.
It would give us the ability to move our large vessels between bodies of water that are at different elevations.
It works like this:
Water A is at a lower elevation
Water B is at a higher elevation
Gate A sits on the side of Water A
Gate B sits on the side of Water B
Your vessel approaches the lock through Gate A
Gate B is closed, holding back water at a higher elevation
Gate A shuts behind you
Water flows in to match water level behind Gate B
Gate B opens
Sail on through!
The same process in reverse only instead of water pouring in, water would drain out.
The only issue is the that the current water physics don't allow for that.
Any feedback is much appreciated. And sorry if this idea isn't very thorough, I'm just trying to get your opinion on it.
If notch improved the water physics, this would work. But I don't think there should actual "water gates", but instead inventions.
A lot of people want to add new blocks, when the point of a lot of the currently existing phyisics is to let you make inventions. Be creative.

Yeah but that's the boats we have now. I was thinking about the rumored larger ships.
