A view from the bridge of 'Gripsholm' (1957) or 'Kungsholm' (1966) of the Pedro Miguel Lock, Panama Canal.
A view from the bridge of 'Gripsholm' (1957) or 'Kungsholm' (1966) of the Pedro Miguel Lock, Panama Canal, with the Miraflores Lock in the background. Some passengers can be seen observing the 'mules' towing the ship through the lock.
Crewmen enjoy a panoramic view as they pass through the Panama Canal. The 48-mile canal connects the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean and cruise ships are guided through the locks by powerful locomotives. Negotiating its entire length can take a whole day.
