Incorrect statement

In the lead it says, "The Waterford Flight remains the flight with the highest elevation gain (169 feet = 51,5 m) relative to its length (1.5 mile) for any canal lock system in the world.[1]", quoting a source.

Unfortunately, the source is wrong. Locks 4-7 on the Welland canal rise 190 feet (49, 43, 52, 46, feet, respectively) in a distance of 0.8 nautical miles (0.92 statute miles), see Welland Canal. . Jim . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:22, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Somebody revised the claim accordingly in the article lead. Reify-tech (talk) 16:40, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
