Through Locks
Panama Canal
Ships traveling from Balboa to Colon in Panama cross through one set of locks at the Panama Canal. The Panama Canal has a system of locks that raise and lower ships to the level of Gatun Lake, which is then crossed to reach the other set of locks at the other end of the canal.
The width of the locks were widened to 110 feet after a request from the United States Navy.
Locks are only needed when the ships need to be raised and lowered in altitude because of the terrain the canal crosses.
