Panama Canal Mule
That engine at the top of the picture is called a mule. These mules are roped to each ship using a metal rope, and ar eused to guide the ships through the canal.

Female Canal Worker
There are very few Panama Canal workers who are female. We were lucky enough to have one of them for our trip through the gatun Locks.

Canal Worker Gloves
Canal Worker number 710 left his gloves on the desk of our ship (he came back for them a little while later).
