Did you know that when traveling through the Panama Canal from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, you actually travel EAST?

During our studies of water forms, we viewed both cruise ships and container ships traveling through the Panama Canal. The canal is a twenty-four hour a day operation. The picture to the above shows container ships traveling at night.


Click on the picture to the left and you'll see a cruise ship travel through the canal via time lapse photography.

  1. Nice blog SL!
    The video reminds me of when I used to go through the locks on a friends boat from salt to fresh from Quincy Bay to the Charles River.
    The boat I was on was big but not that BIG!!
