So where are these "weird" techniques referenced in the description?? Never saw them. This was more a basic tutorial about tugboats for the layman.
-
Nice video but I think you were describing the new locks while showing the old ones. Agua Clara is the new one.
-
Note for future: quay is pronounced key.
-
Cool video about tugboats. Missed the details about engineering the Panama Canal. Was hoping for answers to quotations like these: Why are locks necessary? Why not just dig a big trench? How is the water pumped to raise the water level in the locks? What happens to the excess water? Does it get dumped into the ocean, or reused?

Been through that on the SS Akaroa. Still recall my fascination, as I was 8 years old. So good, and one of the best memories of spending time with my Dad. He turns 92 this month.

The description is incorrect. From the Pacific, a ship is lifted in two locks to the level of Lake Miraflores, 52 feet or so above sea level. The ship at 3:00 ff is moving toward the Pacific.

Fact check: A ship from the Pacific rises UP through the locks. Not down as shown at 3:03.

One can only be amazed and stunned by the dynamics interaction and the work done by Panama 🇵🇦 canal's personnel particularly the tugboats that are marvelous machines doing crucial job and making huge impact serving/securing the passage of 9000 ships a year and enabling 96.8% of world huge 🛳 to sail through canal,without the Panama 🇵🇦 canal world economy/trade will experience a serious handicap, which avoiding it is essential to world economy and its durable development 😎

I was half expecting the Ever Dynamic to get stuck.
-
That last bit of video showing the carrier, is the USS Yorktown in Charleston SC. Lovely ship, been on it many times.
-
This is about tugboats, not the Panama Canal.
-
I've always wanted to learn more about the Panama Canal, but forgot about it. Thank you.
-
If you come from the Pacific and reach Miraflores. They you go UP. Not DOWN.
-
Hi . Can anybody tell me the length of the canal and how long it take for a ship to get through the canal. . . .awesome first time for me. From South Africa
-
This was already use long time before by using dolly car both side towing a large Panamanian size ship inside Panama canal chamber to chamber-Miraflores passage.
-
4:52 Quay-side is pronounced 'key-side', not Kuay-side. 😀😃😄😁
