The US actually originally considered building it in Nicaragua because of the lake and the San Juan River which would cut down on the digging required. They even did surveys and plans were pretty much underway. So what made them change to Panama? Enter the French. The French already attempted to build a canal in Panama with the help of Ferdinand de Lesseps who also developed the Suez Canal. Attempt because they tried to build it the exact same way they did in Egypt, it didn't work, thousands of workers died and when he realized how the canal should be built, it was too late. Investments ran out, everyone gave up on it and left...except for one man, Philippe Bunau-Varilla. He wanted to earn big bucks on the canal, and did whatever it took. So he persuaded the US, saying that they'd have to worry about a volcano by distributing a Nicaragua stamp with an eruption to Congress, and it worked. But there was a problem, Panama was Colombian at the time, and while Colombia initially supported the French building the canal, the Colombian senate was now against it. This led to the US and Philippe working together, got Panamanians on their side, and began a revolution to break Panama away. To stop a Colombian response to retake it, the US sent its navy to secure the new country. And of course, the US was the first to recognize Panamanian independence

Slavko Gelo 2 Main reasons: 1) Having 2 locks side by side allows 2 way travel (one lock can be going "up" while the other goes "down" allowing far more traffic. 2) A huge lock requires a lot of water movement which is wasteful and slow. Also, deconstructing a lock would require you to entirely close the canal for an extended period. Building new locks and cuts allows you to keep the canal open.

But when the ship drives into the lock, the door is open so the water level is same as it is for a smaller ship because extra water escapes through the door. So, you need the same amount of water to raise the level to the same height.

@gimmethegepgun

5 жыл бұрын

Gunslinger 256 That's not correct. The displaced water freely flows in or out while the locks are open. Raising or lowering it by a certain amount always requires the same amount of water (if a big ship required less it would mean it was hitting the bottom). Tides probably change how much the outer ones need to be raised or lowered though, since the ocean water will be at differing levels throughout the day, but the height they're being raised to is the same.

We went through the canal on a cruise ship when i was 12 on vacation with my family. At the time, I remember being very bored and to a 12 year old it is quite ugly. I wanted to go back to Costa Rica where there were monkeys and banana trees. I am now 33 and thanks to this video and the wonders of the internet, I can truly appreciate the engineering of the canal.

What a coincidence. I just read an advertisement a few days ago about a cruise from California to florida, and I knew they had to go through the Panama canal. And I was thinking about how cool it would be to go through the Panama canal. And two days later, lo and behold, here is this video. I'm about to watch it now and enjoy a accelerated trip through the Panama canal from the Pacific Ocean to the gulf of mexico. How cool. After watching, I never realized how many open areas there were; I thought it was just a narrow straight canal all the way across. Interesting.

That was SO cool to watch! Always wondered what it looked like. Thank you!

I remember doing this transit in 1998 during my Navy tour on board USS Decatur. I have my "Order of The Ditch" Certificate in a frame on the wall. 🙂

What a priviledge to watch. Man at his best!

The thing I really love about this interconnected world today: I can take this video, watch the encapsulated moment from the viewpoint of a ship actually traversing the Panama Canal, and then I can go boot up Google Earth, zoom way in on Panama, and actually chart the course you took through the locks and reservoir, and see satellite images of the exact same places, but from a geological perspective. If like, a teacher had simply shown this video and booted up Google maps, I would have cared significantly more about geography and history when I was actually in school.

One of the coolest vids I've seen on KZread. Hands down !

What an amazing feat of engineering! Got to experience the canal passage (from the Pacific to the Atlantic) as birthday gift. Balcony location allowed to us to enjoy the entire 11-hour experience from our room. I will *never* forget that experience. *This video allows me to relive the moments. Thank you!*

Fell asleep twice in the middle of the day watching that. So soothing.

The fact that something this complicated and huge can be made and used with little problems

I had no idea this is how it operated. That’s awesome. The cruise ship going through there looked surreal. Hope to experience it like that one day!

Great video that also shows how the wind affects the ships. Thanks for sharing.

This video has satiated my desire to see the Panama Canal for months on end. Next week I am off on a cruise to experience it first hand. Not sure why, but this system of moving ships fascinates me as if I were a child. The fact is was built in the decade of the 1910's, without computers and modern machinery shows what men (and women) can do when they put their minds to accomplish good for the betterment of the people.

How was the cruise

I actually learned recently that the canal locks are at angles so the force imparted by the larger body of water seals it shut. Apparently Da Vinci had that as an idea too!

I'm reading a book that mentions the canal and wanted to see it. This was a great tour. Thanks for posting.

This was really amazing! Thanks!

I honestly am blown away by this. It looks so damn pathetically small on a map, but yet this video makes it seem absolutely massive. The fact that this is all artificially made is just mindblowing.

After more then 3 years In my recommendation. Nice video!

Hey my teachers used this video for our class! Its honestly so entertaining to watch lol-

Khan sir ke video ke baad kis kis ko ye video recommendation me aaya 😁😁😁😂🙋🙋🙋🙋

Thank you very much, you brough a very wonderful experience to me!

This was so calming to watch honestly. I wish there was mellow background music though :)

One of the amazing videos that I have seen so far.

It's so cool to see how Panama canal works in POV video like this

This adds a whole lot of perspective to my old history classes. Out of curiosity, does the direction of transit reverse occasionally? It looks like all 3 lanes go the same way.

Yes, the canal can be transited in either way.

Hello Im from Panama, and yes thw direction is changed everytime it's ordered to, also new ones were built that are a lot bigger

@taoliu3949

It's actually easier to allow transit in both directions. This is because the locks needs to be flooded or drained depending on the direction of travel. It's actually more efficient to alternate passage directions.

Yeah just depends on the traffic. Railroads also do similar depending on the traffics.

At 6:25 as the ship we are viewing from (Ocean Princess) is exiting the Gatún Locks (Atlantic Ocean side) there is a white and red ship entering the adjacent lane in the opposite direction. A cruise ship had just used that lane in the same direction as the OP. Also at 6:34 another ship is approaching the lane OP just exited. So yes, direction switches as needed.

Okay the coolest thing about this video is the clouds constantly changing shape.....😍😍😍

What a great video! Thanks for sharing :)

I needed this for my history class thanks

Loved it! I have been thru the canal so this was familiar to me! (And I have also been on the Erie Canal - Wow what a difference!) and also have seen it via ships cams so I really enjoyed this!

A real visual experience. Congratulations.

I am feeling proud to cross Panama, it was wonderful experience.
