The ship at 4:35 - the "Island Princess" (bigger than the ship we're on) shows the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM size of vessel (Panamax) that could traverse the Canal before the new locks were opened :-)

[@EASYTIGER10]

I'm not on any ship right now, but the video was shot from the "Ocean Princess" It tells you in the video description.

[@slavathecar]

I see two locks side by side. Why can't they just remove that barrier in between and combine the two locks into one essentially doubling the size of the locks?

[@EASYTIGER10]

Slavko Gelo 2 Main reasons: 1) Having 2 locks side by side allows 2 way travel (one lock can be going "up" while the other goes "down" allowing far more traffic. 2) A huge lock requires a lot of water movement which is wasteful and slow. Also, deconstructing a lock would require you to entirely close the canal for an extended period. Building new locks and cuts allows you to keep the canal open.

[@crashstitches79]

It looks like it's overlapping the lock, like it's even wider than the lock itself LOL

[@austinix3607]

Ye

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

The US actually originally considered building it in Nicaragua because of the lake and the San Juan River which would cut down on the digging required. They even did surveys and plans were pretty much underway. So what made them change to Panama? Enter the French. The French already attempted to build a canal in Panama with the help of Ferdinand de Lesseps who also developed the Suez Canal. Attempt because they tried to build it the exact same way they did in Egypt, it didn't work, thousands of workers died and when he realized how the canal should be built, it was too late. Investments ran out, everyone gave up on it and left...except for one man, Philippe Bunau-Varilla. He wanted to earn big bucks on the canal, and did whatever it took. So he persuaded the US, saying that they'd have to worry about a volcano by distributing a Nicaragua stamp with an eruption to Congress, and it worked. But there was a problem, Panama was Colombian at the time, and while Colombia initially supported the French building the canal, the Colombian senate was now against it. This led to the US and Philippe working together, got Panamanians on their side, and began a revolution to break Panama away. To stop a Colombian response to retake it, the US sent its navy to secure the new country. And of course, the US was the first to recognize Panamanian independence

[@christopherwellman2364]

It's counter intuitive that big ships take less time to transit due to displacing more water, requiring less water to equalize the locks. Great video, thank you.

[@stevenoble2442]

I did not know that, great tid-bit.

[@NK-ec8um]

But when the ship drives into the lock, the door is open so the water level is same as it is for a smaller ship because extra water escapes through the door. So, you need the same amount of water to raise the level to the same height.

[@gimmethegepgun]

Gunslinger 256 That's not correct. The displaced water freely flows in or out while the locks are open. Raising or lowering it by a certain amount always requires the same amount of water (if a big ship required less it would mean it was hitting the bottom). Tides probably change how much the outer ones need to be raised or lowered though, since the ocean water will be at differing levels throughout the day, but the height they're being raised to is the same.

[@Enneamorph]

I dont think that was in the original thoughts when making the canal. Something more like "lets not have to go around an entire continent to reach the pacific." Either that or I am big dumb and misunderstood

Hello Im from Panama, and yes thw direction is changed everytime it's ordered to, also new ones were built that are a lot bigger

It's actually easier to allow transit in both directions. This is because the locks needs to be flooded or drained depending on the direction of travel. It's actually more efficient to alternate passage directions.

[@kishascape]

Yeah just depends on the traffic. Railroads also do similar depending on the traffics.

[@MarvinTurner]

At 6:25 as the ship we are viewing from (Ocean Princess) is exiting the Gatún Locks (Atlantic Ocean side) there is a white and red ship entering the adjacent lane in the opposite direction. A cruise ship had just used that lane in the same direction as the OP. Also at 6:34 another ship is approaching the lane OP just exited. So yes, direction switches as needed.

I'm reading a book that mentions the canal and wanted to see it. This was a great tour. Thanks for posting.

[@TaDarling1]

I'm surprised there are no specifically-defined directional lanes. It's seriously scary watching large and small ships passing each other so closely as they travel in opposite directions. Would love to know what the accident ratio is.

[@moqxi8830]

almost 0 since boats do not go that fast. also when entering the locks large boats are driven by professionals at the same time the use tug boats and little trains to guide them

[@TaDarling1]

@@moqxi8830 Thanks for that info! 👍

[@ManishSharma-jn7ud]

M curious.. How boats traffic work.. Any right or left traffic... All coming from all sides

[@stevenoble2442]

Yes it is confusing.

[@nahuelma97]

According to what I saw on the video, it's basically whatever lane is available I think

[@fighterck6241]

So do the people on the other side have to wait 11 hours for one of the lanes to open up?

[@HeseTku]

FighterCK no. It works both ways at the same time

[@GenesisOnMoney]

Great stuff! Exactly what I wanted to see. Thanks Steve!!

I wondering why I don't have any volume on this video like I have on all my others? Some close captions would really help as it would tell you the exact points the ships were passing through without using a guessing game? Some signs or aerial shots from ocean to ocean would be nice too, I'm I asking for too much?

[@MartinZanichelli]

0:39 Luis Carlos Jimenez, the fisherman who died that day. That is why we all came to this video, I think. The Court established that the fisherman was in a prohibited zone. His family said that the Canal absorbed all fish colonies, so he had to go there. They have now a foundation (Fundación Jiménez) to enable fishing for the families in the Canal.

[@johndutton4612]

did that person really go under this particular ship?

Hey my teachers used this video for our class! Its honestly so entertaining to watch lol-

[@nwxzzz]

im from asia and i just found out about this. crossing this canal is added to my bucket list! that of course, can only be done when i pass my exams, get a good job, and travel the world. really hope i’ll get to have this chance. depressing reality indeed. wish me luck and i’ll be there in a few years :))

I thought the ship was small untill I saw people on the front

[@cl5342]

That was SO cool to watch! Always wondered what it looked like. Thank you!

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Before the locks were built, someone had to _float_ the idea. It's a _draining_ job for the locks to do this every day. Before entering the canal, the ship was sad, but after it had an _uplifting_ experience that made its day. If a captain is careless, he might have an _off the wall_ experience. Sometimes the locks really _let ships down_. When the water level is done being raised, everyone is _pumped_ to move ahead. I came up with a lot of puns and had to _go with the flow._

[@Mister_Mag00]

Imagine being in the lower decks of that cruise ship when its doing down, and like there just being a wall inches from your cabin window/balcony, would freak me out lol

[@gerardacronin334]

I have experienced that on a river cruise. I could actually touch the wall of the Rhine-Main-Danube canal from my room. And in a smaller ship the ups and downs were proportionally much deeper. Our entire ship was often below ground level. It was a really cool experience.

Saw the canal once but didn't appreciate how cool it was as it takes so much time to move the boats through and I was a kid. This has shown me how incredible this is as a feat of engineering, thanks for sharing. Also is it true the toll to cross is still paid with a suitcase of cash?

[@stevenoble2442]

Payment is either cash or telegraphic transfer.
