How the Panama Canal Lifts Giant Ships #shorts #tranding

The Panama Canal completely changed global shipping and world trade.

Before the canal existed, ships traveling between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans had to sail around South America — adding nearly 13,000 extra kilometers to the journey.

But the most fascinating part is how the canal actually works.

The canal crosses land above sea level, so engineers designed giant lock systems that work like water elevators for ships.

Using gravity and freshwater, massive ships are lifted upward, moved across Gatun Lake, and lowered back down without pumps.

Some ships passing through the canal carry more than 10,000 containers at once.

This is one of the greatest engineering projects in modern history.
