About the Panama Canal
How the Panama Canal works!
I LOVE THIS SITE! So I have to share it, don't I?
http://www.pancanal.com/eng/general/...rks/index.html
On the Transit page, it shows how ship would progress thru the canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
On the Operations page, it shows how one of the individual locks works!
I can watch those 2 pages ALL DAY LONG.
On the Dimensions, it gives a pictorial view of the dimensions of the locks. There is also a button to get the Maximum Dimensions allowed for a Ship. This is also known as PanaMax. These numbers are becoming very important for the cruise industry, which is building bigger and bigger ships.
