Visited the canal in 1974...At the time I was twenty-one years of age...Saw the Pacific ocean for the first time.Also attended carnival in Panama City,from here I boarded the train to the city of Colón...I owe this wonderful experience to my uncle(R.I.P.).It's been awhile since...Urban sprawl has built skyscrapers,a new railroad system,etc.
Hi there, a Panamanian here. Nice video! Just a couple of things, the way you described the crossing process is one o two. The one missing (that was the original way, and still used in the old locks) consists of special locomotives that literally pull the ships from one side of the lock to the other. The process mentioned in the video applies specially (but not limited) to the new locks. And even though the locks system is a result of American endeavor…the idea of using it was obvious way long before they continued the construction, even to the French engineers, and literally all of them and many others told this to Lesseps, but he didn’t cared and failed. Cheers
He gave it to Panama because it was the right thing to do, that is Panamanian soil not American. The USA helped build it and the world and Panama are very grateful, but to call the Canal US property and land around it was wrong Period. It caused nothing but tension and resentment from the Panamanian people.
@@jorgecgonzalez9976 There wouldn't be a Panama but for the United States. Perhaps JC should have given the canal back to Columbia? Wouldn't that have been more just?
There is a big mistake here. The lock gates don’t open to admit water. They can’t be opened until the water level is equalized. Valves allow the water to move between locks.
The Suez canal is far more important than the Panama canal, around 15% of all of the world's trade passes through the Suez canal while the Panama canal handles less than half of that, without trade the world grinds to a halt. The Suez canal got blocked for just 6 days and it caused pandemonium for businesses!
hello friend my name is Felice and I live in Italy, I am a former sailor of ships carrying gas. In the bay of Limon there is a Liberian flag ship called Helium gas. Could you please give me 2 minutes of video of this ship? I need it for a personal memento to put it in my scrapbook. thanks
@@jecos1966 that’s due to the fact that AMERICA is important. If you studied the history on how America 🇺🇸 fought for their independence from the cuckhold of Britain you would also be patting Americans on the back and high fiving them. America is truly the greatest country in this world.
Which country carried out the expansion to allow ships with 13,000 containers to pass through the Panama Canal? You conveniently left that part out after mentioning France and the US.
U.S. could have just build the railroads for transporting goods from one side to the other instead of building a cannal and using ships for doing the same
Uhmm? "..... during the late 2,000's...." We are in the "early 2,000's right now and late ones are far away. Did an adult review this video prior to release? Best of luck.

Good story men🫠
I love looking at these old photos, videos, and see how engineering has changed the world!
And i love u
Only to have one Brandon mess the entire world up..

I was in Panama Canal today.. Indeed I saw these locomotives, front and back and both sides of the ship.
Is there any talk of remodeling the old canal as the new one? So you have two high capacity canals?
3:11 I like how the rear tugboat just "disappears" haha
Thanks to the USA, this canal is the cash cow for Panama 👍
Beautifully explained
The channel is really v interesting.
This presentation Is excelenth the Panamá canal is beautiful
Amazing workmanship
Engineering is really fascinating!
👌👌👌👌
Thanks Jimmy Carter
For giving it away !!##

Amazing, glad I looked the Panama Canal up and found this clip.
Voice of TV ANCHOR IS ❤❤❤
Facsinating direct to the point explanation
My Dad was stationed in Panama with the Air Force, and I was born there in 1972.
Yes! Mankind is truly amazing!! With all of our successes and conquests..
.just look at the state of the world because of it all...smmfh

Astounding !!!!!
Had my first university voyage as marine engineer apprentice in Panama complex school of Marines.
So who’s been most traveled; the Suez or the Panama Canal?
Suez has higher traffic and transports more ships and tonnes of cargo
I looked it up, it says 19k ships travelled through the suez canal in 2020 and 14k through panama canal in the same year
Loved the voice 😊
Good information

I came here from a zoom class. If elena is watching hello there! I am Kai from zoom.
Nice video 👍
Tugboats are awesome. What would these big ships do without them?

Great Engineers 👍 👌 👍 👌

Great videos
nice video
Nice info .

Panamá 🇵🇦🦋
So which is more important to the world ---- the Suez or Panama Canal?
Had an MCAT practice passage on this topic this morning, was an interesting passage and this was an interesting video!
I love this
So... how does it work? It says nothing on that.
Awesome engeneering
Nice
the most important canal is- The Suez Canal, not Panama.
May be one of the most important canals.
Remember this American they like to pat themselves on the back and say how wonderful they are
@@jecos1966 agree
América es más importante que el Mediterráneo, para que tenga un norte.

@@Kim-ri1hg You shit loads of help in that war, You are far from being the Greatest County in the world America is such a fucking mess
Suez canal most important thing in the world
What is the point?
😂very good 👍👍
i think its the Suez Canal here in Egypt is at the top 1 most important
its the most used passage for ships all over the world
Is this direct anchor or system made its amazing clear voice

🙌🏻PANAMA CANAL 🙌🏻
Which country carried out the expansion to allow ships with 13,000 containers to pass through the Panama Canal?
You conveniently left that part out after mentioning France and the US.
Suiz pass is the most important waterway not Panama
Maybe for some
Nope. Panama Canal is the Crossroads of the World. Without it, the US would never have become a superpower.
“Suiz” canal huh? I didn’t know that something that doesn’t exist could be so important. Who knew!
Yes ur right
A f.u.ck off with swiss thieves land. Panama is it ! Period
2:09 Not possible? Give it to the Chinese, and they will make the sea level canal.
Suez canal is more important
By far
It divides the prehistoric redindian's path
Di ka seaman kong dika nakadaan dito hehehe
To the slaves that died building this, to the engineers who lived for the credits...
Amen
What slaves? Lots of workers died building the Panama Canal but they were paid laborers, mostly from Jamaica and Barbados
Slavery had been outlawed for nearly half a century in the US by this point.
Nice try, Clyde. There were no slaves involved in building the Panama Canal. Get a life.
What I see is a Gold mine that will never run-out and plentiful it produces.
AHAHAHAHHAHAHA it reminds me about that one last year.. or when it was.. that ship was stuck.. lol
U.S. could have just build the railroads for transporting goods from one side to the other instead of building a cannal and using ships for doing the same
Shipping is far more efficient concerning both time and cost. This is an extremely uneducated comment.
Can you ship everywhere in the country?
You must not know anything about Panama.
Uhmm? "..... during the late 2,000's...." We are in the "early 2,000's right now and late ones are far away. Did an adult review this video prior to release? Best of luck.
2000s are finished
So I are the 2010s
We are now in the 2020s

Not too bright, are you?

Play Panama song now......
This is not the most important one. One of the most. But definitely not at the top of the list
Its hear in ancient sri lanka.
🙋🏻♀️🤓❤👍
I hope the country benefits from this earth destroying stuff
it only takes one ship.
Why did u put writing on screne? The guy speaks clearly. Annoying...
Stop misrepresenting facts, how is Panama canal more important than Suez canal?
😘😘😘😘😛😛
Andrew from We Work at Dumbo
Why doesn't Costa Rica build a canal too? Seems like they could steal some of those profits from Panama
Nothing about the forced labor? Or how many died during construction! Pretty pretty 🖕
