- New Panama Canal. Last chamber of 3 Locks. Aqua Clara was Completed 2016. LCS Littoral Combat Ship entering the first lock behind the Caribbean Princess cruise ship we are on!
The gates close, water fills up from Reservoirs and raises ships up to the next lock. Tug Boats guide ships into all locks and keep them in the middle of the lock!
Did you know that the Pacific Ocean is several feet/meters in sea level, than the Atlantic. Cool Locks that are like stairs!
Guys, sorry we did not say "Meters" We are Realtors in Cali & Vegas!

I PASSED TROUGH IN 2016 ON A PRINCESS CRUISE. HAD A GREAT TIME.
The new locks use water from the holding tanks on the left ..
They just cycle it back and forth.
We were on the same cruise and were probably standing feet from you when you made this video. Thanks for the great footage.
I remember going through the locks in Panama when I was on a fast attack submarine.
I cruised through the old locks and the bee ones are amazing! I will never forget the tankers waiting for sunset so the can go through the canal for half price
Totally agree!
We passaged the old locks on a cruise ship in 2019.
"Mule" is the mane they gave to theTRACTORS (40 of them) used to pull the ships in the channel. Never talking about animals !
They were electric railroad locomotives.
they don't pull the ship ,they keep them in the middle and brake or stops the ship.
Not feet but meters.
The water to fill the locks flows from the Lake it has a salinity fresher than fresh water, so ships sink deeper than when in salt water. So a ship like the passenger ship size, would sink about 12" more (exact amount is calculated by the ship naval architects and the ships officers read it on a table or using a computer.
That is fascinating!
US Navy stealth fast attack ship
Half a million dollars. Holy Shit.
The so called mules were electric locomotives. They never had animals pulling ships.
On a Crystal Cruise with the Forbes Investment passengers, our historian explained that there were mules pulling boats early on.
@@crisannconroyrealestate6672 "In 1914, to operate on the Panama Canal, 40 mules were built by GE. Mules are used for side-to-side and braking control through the locks. Four mules were used per ship, one on each side and one on each end. From the outset, it was considered an important safety feature that ships be guided though the lock chambers by these electric locomotives, known as mulas (mules, named after the animals traditionally used to cross the isthmus of Panama),
running on the lock walls" ....Pictures year Canal opened show these Electric Mules at work, not the Animal "Mules"
The markers your calling feet are meter markings.
That wasn't FEET, it is in Meters!!
We are Americans and sorry for the mistake
@@crisannconroyrealestate6672 If you had looked close, could have thought in Yards, which is 3 feet. A meter is 39 inches.
While I'm not sure why this ended up on my list of suggested videos...I definitely enjoyed it & wanted to say thank you for that, including the narration also!
It was not intentional. I wish I knew how it happened too!
Mine too! Totally cool!
