Panamax

A Panamax cargo ship exits the lock right in front of us. I'm not sure the photo adequately captures the enormous size of this ship.

 

Panamax ships are designed to the maximum specification of the Panama Canal, with only 2 feet of clearance on each side as the mules guide it through the locks.
