Panama Canal Full Transit in 5-minutes, Cruzando el Canal de Panama en 5 minutos

The Celebrity Infinity was making its way from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean through the Panama Canal. This video was taken from a fixed position on the top deck of the cruise ship for more than 10 hours. It shows the whole route and operations with short explanations. The length of the video was reduced to less than 6 minutes.
President Theodore Roosevelt built Panama Canal and used the Army Corps Engineers to complete the project. The main reason for the canal was to reduce the cost and distance by not having to travel around the tip of South America for another approximately 5,000 miles. The secondary reason is for security of the country, to be above to move the navy ships quickly between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
El crucero 'Celebrity Infinity" estaba cruzando el Canal de Panama desde el Océano Pacífico al Océano Atlántico. Este video fue tomado desde una posición fija en la cubierta alto del crucero durante más de 10 horas. Muestra la ruta entera y operaciones con explicaciones breves. La duración del vídeo se redujo a menos de 6 minutos.
El Canal de Panamá, el canal de 50 millas de largo crea un atajo y evite el viaje largo alrededor de la punta de Sudamérica y acorta el viaje de aproximadamente 5.000 millas.

It is a stunning Engineering wonder.. Thanks for this great video.. It clearly explains how the lock works.. It is worth seeing...

[@ChantYip]

aniledakkal, I am glad to know you like the video. Thanks for writing.

Stunning engineering isn't cheap but it doesn't normally trigger one of the biggest, if not, the biggest financial crash in human history nor bring down a government. I am not disagreeing with you, just pointing that out. The Panama Canal is another example of human determination when we need to. See Here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_scandals

[@trappedinlafayette]

I've transited the Canal 15 times and it's still fascinating to watch.....................

[@PinacoladaMatthew]

respect for the engineering ingenuity and the sacrifices made for this piece of human wonder

Gracias por compartir este video saludos desde el Tigre Argentina

[@spaceinvader384]

This is THE BEST video that clearly explains, step by step, how it works to facilitate ships to shortcut through central America. Amazing genius engineering and salute to those who sacrifice their lives for this massive project.

[@fourfortyroadrunner]

There are so many useless videos on KZbin. This is not one of them!! Thank you for the wonderful footage from an old guy who will never get to see this in person

[@ChantYip]

Thank you for your kind comments. We are glad that you like the video. There are our some other travel videos that might appeal to you, for instance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3qzqamDhNtnlc0 (Marvellous FjordsNorway - Maravillosos fiordos de Noruega)

[@retroblackztar]

This is the Best video about Canal de Panamá I've ever seen in KZbin. Thanks a lot.

[@competetodefeat4610]

Lived in Panama in the early/mid 80's when I was 12-13 and saw it first hand. It's even more impressive in person where you can really get an idea of how massive not only the canal is but the ships that go through it.

[@Eil510]

Thank you for sharing this! Love the huge engineering projects

[@marieladuncan2681]

great video! thank you for sharing. My daughter crossed the Panama Canal today and all the webcams were down so I'm glad I got to see this video to have an idea of what she experienced!

[@thirdgengta]

A great video! Thanks for posting! I got to live in Panama for six brief months in my youth, and was able to go through the canal several times while there (while it was still under US ownership and operation).

[@HeartlandTuber]

Thanks for great video. We did the passage thru canal about 15 years ago on Crystal Harmony cruise ship. Good memories.

[@rayadvanta]

Of all the videos i had watched, this one i didnt get tired viewing again and again,countless times. The video is so informative and the music is very romantic.

[@karltprescott4404]

I was there from 07/07/1944 to 1965 a place there I play and love .I must say from the US move out the it has change for the good of the people wish I were there now.Some day I return.

[@kyracoach]

Can you explain the improvement in Panama since the Chinese took it over?....

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU this was awesome to see, as I am poor and don't have money to travel, so I get to travel by KZbin! (and especially due to no commercials Thanks for that!) And LOVED THE MUSIC!

[@ChantYip]

Thank you, Janet Stone. We are glad to hear that this video helps you to understand this great project and the ingenuity of all the personnel involved up to the President of the US at the time.

[@fredsmith6324]

thanks for the video! great job in describing it all, really appreciate it. i heard they added newer wider locks. 10.5 hrs to get through though, if only they could make it all sea level...

[@carlsaunders9337]

Educational!

[@RoadartamFluss]

wower than wow. well done clip. ‼️👍😍

[@Kyleinasailing]

Informative and nicely done. Quite astonishing to think that the French wanted to build the canal as a straight cut through just like the Suez canal. They, the French, were masters at canal building and it's interesting that they didn't see the dam and lock solution from the beginning.

[@chokedup53]

loved our trip. want to go again.

[@spiegel3269]

I'll be there in a week for Christmas vacation!

[@MrHawksby]

People gather on deck as if the transit will be a momentary thing- they save chairs etc/ Then they discover it takes eight hours- and in summer the heat is so oppressive they all go indoors and watch thru the windows over lunch : ) wonderful video

[@ChantYip]

Yes, or to bring a history book of Panama Canal to read and the history will come to life.

[@denaliwarnakula7684]

hola panama! mejores deseos from Sri Lanka

[@ngohmichaellyonga1866]

Great job done; you gave me a straight inside into the Panama Canal. I am now more than excited to make a journey to the great peace of engineering edifice in more time. I also use this opportunity to pay respect to the more the 28,000 individuals who loss their life during the construction of this work and as well to the rest of the team who made this possible. It is indeed an entirely ambitious project from the French to the Americans...Hurray!

[@ChantYip]

Thank you for writing. The history of Panama Canal is inspiring showing ingenuity of human race. After realizing that digging thru the difficult terrains was not possible, the American engineers made use of the abundant rainfalls in this tropical area to lift the ships and it has been one for over 100 yrs. The medical personnel also made it possible thru solving the problems brought by mosquitos.

[@mdbinucosta3777]

Music very nice.

[@CaptainArt777]

Nice job.

[@malippara]

Awesome work done by Americans highly appreciable great job

[@ChantYip]

malippara, Thank you for your comments. We fell the same as you do. Panama Canal is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, a list of the greatest civil engineering achievements of the 20th century. It took ingenuity, perseverant and hardship of personnel and the great leadership of the U.S president at the time to complete the project.

[@TheLuckymoon]

Projected by europeans, made by Usa.

[@ChantYip]

@@TheLuckymoon Thank you for your comment. Yes, Panama Canal was built by two countries. The Americans learned the mistakes from the French and corrected everything needed to be done. The project showed the ingenuity of people to solve any problem.

[@SuperMrmahendra]

What an awesome engineering as well as ur video....

All these years I finally looked up the Panama canal

[@ChantYip]

Panama Canal is one of best achievements of mankind to create a water way thru high hill and cut short about 5,000 miles not having to go around the tip of South America. President Theodore Roosevelt was the supporter and the leader of the project.

[@ashwinpsamuel6437]

Nice Music in this video 👌

nice video!! every time you put in gate WAS opening when it should be IS made it feel like ; gate was opening when suddenly........

[@nivinjose4342]

nice video

[@k283535]

Thoughtfully made

[@ChantYip]

Thank for writing. The great effort of our US engineers, medical personnel and the determination of the US president at the time made this marvelous project of mankind possible.

I remember watching a documentary on how they made this. Most of the middle section was just jungle that they flooded.
