Over the years a few things have changed…

The Port of Balboa (Pacific side) –

The Port of Colon (Caribbean side) –

But – through the years, the Canal continues to inspire…

Humility, in witnessing the many hands that help guide your ship,

Awe, in realizing man’s smallness …

… And the burst of excitement when finally arriving at the other side – and entering the wide, wide Sea!
