The Amazing Panama Canal

in blog •  7 years ago 

Was down in Panama last week checking out the surf and this incredible feat of mankind. The Panama Canal took 10 years and 250,000 people to complete back in 1910!

These boats are raise and lowered over 150 feet and run 24/7 365 days a year.

Check out this Timelapse video of a ship going through!

"Hey fellas...tired of going around South America?....yeah me too."

Shortcuts. Inspiring innovation since the caves.

Visiting to see it for myself is still on my bucket list... One Day, One Day!

P.S. Thanks for the cool time-lapse.

@braaiboy you should definitely check it out, but Panama City is pretty whack, definitely go to the islands or coast line somewhere out of the cities. Basically mini America

Cool... thanks for the tip!

Great time lapse shot! The canal really is a major feat of engineering. Must be exciting seeing it in real life.
