Wikipedia
lock chamber
A lock is a device used for raising and lowering boats, ships and other watercraft between stretches of water of different levels on river and canal waterways. The distinguishing feature of a lock is a fixed chamber in which the water level can be varied; whereas in a caisson lock, a boat lift, or on a canal inclined plane, it is the chamber itself (usually then called a caisson) that rises and falls. Locks are used to make a river more easily navigable, or to allow a canal to cross land that is not level. Later canals used more and larger locks to allow a more direct route to be taken.

lock chamber
A lock chamber is a section or enclosure of a canal or river lock that can be closed off to control the water level. It allows boats or ships to pass through sections of water of differing levels, essentially serving as a type of water elevator. The lock chamber is filled or emptied by letting water in or out through gates and valves, thus raising or lowering the vessel to the desired level.
