Was amazed how wide the canal is when I saw it. When one hears ‘canal” we provincially thin k of some of the ones here in the states. Never have been to the Panama one. Imagine it’s similar

Kinda. It allows for traffic in both directions. I’ve been through the Panama Canal, but it was a night crossing while I was on the USNS Zeus. The locks going up and down in elevation were neat but its been widened enough for some fairly large ships. I don’t think Supertankers or carriers can go through yet, though.
