  • Visited the canal in 1974...At the time I was twenty-one years of age...Saw the Pacific ocean for the first time.Also attended carnival in Panama City,from here I boarded the train to the city of Colón...I owe this wonderful experience to my uncle(R.I.P.).It's been awhile since...Urban sprawl has built skyscrapers,a new railroad system,etc.

  • Hi there, a Panamanian here. Nice video! Just a couple of things, the way you described the crossing process is one o two. The one missing (that was the original way, and still used in the old locks) consists of special locomotives that literally pull the ships from one side of the lock to the other. The process mentioned in the video applies specially (but not limited) to the new locks. And even though the locks system is a result of American endeavor…the idea of using it was obvious way long before they continued the construction, even to the French engineers, and literally all of them and many others told this to Lesseps, but he didn’t cared and failed. Cheers

  • There is a big mistake here. The lock gates don’t open to admit water. They can’t be opened until the water level is equalized. Valves allow the water to move between locks.

    • He gave it to Panama because it was the right thing to do, that is Panamanian soil not American. The USA helped build it and the world and Panama are very grateful, but to call the Canal US property and land around it was wrong Period. It caused nothing but tension and resentment from the Panamanian people.

  • The Suez canal is far more important than the Panama canal, around 15% of all of the world's trade passes through the Suez canal while the Panama canal handles less than half of that, without trade the world grinds to a halt. The Suez canal got blocked for just 6 days and it caused pandemonium for businesses!
