Gatun Locks
From Wikipedia
The Panama Canal (Spanish: Canal de Panamá) is a 77-kilometre (48 mi)
ship canal in Panama that joins the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific
Ocean and is a key conduit for international maritime trade. Built
from 1904 to 1914, the canal has seen annual traffic rise from about
1,000 ships early on to 14,702 vessels measuring a total of 309.6
million Panama Canal/Universal Measurement System (PC/UMS) tons in
2008. In total, over 815,000 vessels have passed through the canal.[1]
It has been named one of the seven modern wonders of the world by the
American Society of Civil Engineers.[2]

I've seen the Gatun locks from the bank, only on the Gatun lake by boat. This is a great perspective on the locks. Thank you for sharing with us
