THE HISTORY OF THE PANAMA CANAL (Part 2 of 2)

[Chronix74]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching your 2 part series on the panama canal.

I even went through the canal on google maps.

I have a question:

It seemed like all the ships are heading north with very few heading south... is this the case? why, why not?

@Chronix74 I am fairly sure that overall, taking into account all the different types of ships and boats that use the canal, as near as makes no difference the traffic is 50/50 in each direction.

I don't know if this applies to cruise ships. It may not, but I don't think there will be a great difference one way or the other because NY - LA is just as good a cruise as LA- NY :-)

But it's a great question, hopefully some experts will see it and give us the definitive answer.

This is excellent, very interesting.

I am from the republic of ireland. This material is excellent and very informative.

The miles they saved in travel time or kms(Kilometres) as we call them is immense.

@Thepoetastro

The Panama Canal is managed and operated by the Panama Canal Authority (ACP), an autonomous agency of the government of Panama.
