First Vessel Passes Through Expanded Panama Canal

How the Panama Canal Took a Huge Toll On the Contract Workers Who Built It

The $5 Billion Panama Canal Expansion Opens Sunday, Amidst Shipping Concerns

Ever wondered how ships travel across the Panama Canal, bridging a 26-meter height difference? Here’s how the ingenious lock system works: 1 Ships enter the first lock chamber, and massive gates seal them in. 2 Water from Gatun Lake is released into the lock through gravity-fed culverts, raising the ship to the next level. 3 The process repeats across a series of locks until the ship reaches the lake and continues its journey. 4 For the descent, the reverse process lowers the ship to sea level.

Wondered how the Panama Canal works? 🇵🇦⚓ WATCH 👇 The Panama Canal works by moving ships from one ocean to another through inland waterways. But because those waterways lead down to sea level, six lock chambers (three on the Pacific side and three on the Atlantic side) each work as elevators. ©️Silversea #DreamBigHustleSmarter | Hugh Jempa Mpundu
