The Panama canal is an engineering wonder constructed between the North & South America. Know the layout of the canal, how the ships get lifted-up above the sea level for transit, the lock gates, its construction and importance in shipping industry, as well as the dimensions of the lock chambers. slide 1 of 9.
The Panama Canal locks are a lock system that lifts a ship up 85 feet to the main elevation of the Panama Canal and down again. The original canal had a total of six steps for a ship's passage.
