Did you know there's a hidden technology that can lift MASSIVE ships into the sky?! The Panama Canal is no ordinary waterway—it connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, SLASHING travel time from weeks to just hours! But HOW does it work?

This canal uses a genius water lock system. When a ship arrives, its engines are CUT, and it’s carefully guided by tugboats and locomotives to stay in position. Then comes the magic! The first gate opens, and water floods in, lifting the ship UP like an elevator! Once the water level matches, the next gate opens, and the process REPEATS until the ship reaches the other side.

And when it's time to lower the ship? The system works IN REVERSE, gently bringing it back to sea level. This 100-year-old invention is still one of the world’s most impressive engineering feats!
