COMMENT THIS PHOTO(1)
At the crossing of the Panama Canal, there have always been (and probably still are) tarpaulin covers on both wings of the bridge. I do not see them on the photo, so I rather doubt if the ship is in the process of crossing the Panama Canal. Well, but of course I can be wrong.
Thanks for sharing this photo. My last ascent of the Panama Canal was 2002. Now retirement. I miss the sea. Best regards.
