bridges, it has approaches at each end but we call
them sea-evel channels. The Atlantic approach is
miles long and 500 feet wide the approach from
the Pacific is the same width, but is mile longer.

second lock- In you go; again the gate closes behind
you and again you into the third lock- from which
you pass into Gatun Lake. Then you steam ahead
