$Esclusas de Gatun, Canal de Panama, lado atlantico.\nThe Panama Canal locks is a lock system that lifts a ship up 25.9 m (85 ft) to the main elevation of the Panama Canal and down again. It has a total of six steps (three up, three down for a ship's passage). The total length of the lock structures, including the approach walls, is over 3 kilometres (nearly two miles). They are one of the greatest engineering works ever to be undertaken at the time, when they opened in 1914. No other concrete construction of comparable size was undertaken until the Hoover Dam in the 1930s.\nThere are two independent lanes of transition (each lock is built double, so there is a two-lane traffic system). The locks physically limit the maximum size of ships which can transit the canal; this size became known as Panamax.$

Transits are used to measure terrain and slopes with complex shapes and angles. Angles, like distance and height, are important factors in building and accurately planning and designing buildings.

The canal connects the Mississippi River with Lake Pontchartrain and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and associated port facilities.

Three ships in Gatun Locks, one at each of the three levels used to raise ships from the Atlantic Ocean into Gatun Lake which crosses Panama. The farthest ship is a container ship, near right a tanker and left a cruise ship. Haze around ships is caused by diesel exhaust from ships' engines.
