In this video, I'm gonna offer you the best seat in the house. I will show you how we, seafarers, cross the Panama Canal and also give you a simplified idea how this "Water Bridge" works.

Just a brief overview to some, the Panama Canal works by moving ships from one ocean to another through inland waterways. But because those waterways lead down to sea level, six lock chambers (three on the Pacific side and three on the Atlantic side) each work as elevators.
