Panama Canal
So today we will leave the pacific ocean and head into the Atlantic ocean thru the Panama canal. This is the 32 time I sail thru here.....
The canal was ready in 1014 and almost 1 000 000 ships has saild thru it since then. The canal is about 80 km long.
The ship that can pass thru here is called Panamax and can be 294,13 meters long and 32,31 meters wide and have a draft of 12,04 meters to be able to pass. Are you bigger you have to go around Cape Horn.
In 1928 a man named Richard Halliburton paid 36 cent in tolls to swim thru the canal. It took him ten days to complete his journey.
These little trains are connected on each side on the ships bow and stern to pull the boat and brake the boat as it is going thru the locks.
