Docking in Cristobal

Docking in Cristobal, Panama Canal Zone. The warehouses carry the date 1913. This is a container port today.

 

Oriana docked at Port of Cristobal rather than heading directly out to sea to enable passengers time to visit Colon. Cristobal was in the Canal Zone, Colon in Panama. I liked the way the twin communities together were "Cristobal Colon" [i.e. "Christopher Columbus" in Spanish]. Someone had been clever!
