El gran atajo marítimo
Hola amigos buenas noches un abrazo a la distancia y espero se encuentren bien, hoy les deseo compartir un conjunto de imágenes que capture del Canal de Panamá, el gran atajo como le dicen, el cual une los Océanos Atlántico y Pacifico en un recorrido de poco mas de ocho horas aproximadamente pero que ahorra una embarcación una travesía de dos semanas por el Cabo de Hornos.
Esta vía con mas de cien años en operación y que fue iniciada por los franceses pero cuyo intento fracaso por varios factores fue finalizada por los norteamericanos e inaugurada en 1914 tiene una gran relevancia en el transporte marítimo mundial ya que muchas embarcaciones lo utilizan y así ahorran tiempo en sus viajes.
En el año 2016 inauguro su tercer juego de esclusas para poder suplir la gran demanda de embarcaciones cuyas dimensiones excedían las exclusas originales que de por si no contaban con la capacidad para las nuevas embarcaciones. Hoy por hoy pasan aproximadamente 35 embarcaciones diarias y que anualmente aportan a Panamá divisas superiores a los mil millones de dólares.
El Canal de Panamá es un lugar visitado por muchos visitantes de otras nacionalidades con el fin de conocer de cerca el funcionamiento de esta hazaña de la ingeniera que desafío al clima y a la madre naturaleza de Panamá, un clima muy desafiante y algo duro durante su construcción.

The great sea shortcut
Hello friends, good evening, a hug from a distance and I hope you are well, today I want to share a set of images that I captured from the Panama Canal, the great shortcut as they call it, which joins the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in a short distance. More than eight hours approximately, but a two-week journey through Cape Horn saves a boat.
This route, with more than a hundred years in operation and which was started by the French but whose attempt failed due to various factors, was finished by the Americans and inaugurated in 1914, has great relevance in world maritime transport since many vessels use it and thus save time on your travels.
In 2016, it inaugurated its third set of locks in order to meet the great demand for vessels whose dimensions exceeded the original locks, which in themselves did not have the capacity for the new vessels. Today, approximately 35 boats pass by daily and annually bring foreign currency to Panama of more than one billion dollars.
The Panama Canal is a place visited by many visitors of other nationalities in order to learn about the operation of this feat of engineering that challenged the climate and mother nature of Panama, a very challenging and somewhat harsh climate during its construction.

The Panama Canal is one of the most important maritime works because of the time savings it generated since its creation, I had not seen many photos of it but I do know a little of its history so I am quite happy to see your photos!
Hello @jsph, how are you, a pleasure to greet you and yes, the Panama Canal has been one of the works of engineering that unites the world through its crossing, which has facilitated maritime transport. I am glad that you know something about its history and The images that they shared with me have been a pleasant pleasure that you have been given one more vision of said maritime route, greetings!👋😊🤗
