The internets are full of things. Like an article on proposed giant Kelpie sculptures (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/tayside_and_central/7483653.stm) by Andy Scott, the artist of The Heavy Horse (http://www.aqza25.dsl.pipex.com/andy/heavy.html), which would form a fully functional part of the Scottish canal network (http://www.falkirk-wheel.com/latest/grant-for-huge-horse-sculptures.html).
Now this is civil engineering (http://www.aqza25.dsl.pipex.com/andy/kelpies.html).
Although the Kelpie legend does talk of the mythical creatures luring seafarers into the water, British Waterways is quick to point out that anyone travelling through the boat lift will be given a small bridle which according to legend would tame the creature and allow safe passage.
