The most outstanding news of the entire year occurred on the very first day of the past fiscal year, July 1, 1951, when the fiscal system for Canal operations was changed.

And on the Atlantic side, some of the still older group, the Girl Mariners, are trying out the fine, newly-renovated sail- boat Carina which they have on loan from the Sea Scouts until the girls can get a sailboat of their own. Although the Girl Scouts of the Canal Zone have no permanent summer camp like the Boy Scouts' Camp El Volcan, summer is a busy time for all of this fast- growing organization.

Above: Guna Yala sunset. © Kike Calvo DEAR TRAVELER, Since the inception of Lindblad Expeditions, we’ve sailed our ships through the Panama Canal and along the region’s wild coast. I’ve always yearned to go even further. Now, thanks to our expanding fleet, we’re able to explore more of this rewarding region, and we have the perfect ship–the 50-cabin National Geographic Quest. The first time we sailed National Geographic Quest through the Panama Canal, our expedition leader gleefully reported back that the top deck of National Geographic Quest turns out to be the perfect height to observe the lock mechanisms at eye level. In fact, the ship gets so close to the locks that we can hear the workers casually chatting back and forth as they lead us through. Compare this to the way most travelers will experience the Canal—enclosed inside a cruise ship, passing binoculars back and forth to get a glimpse of how these historic locks work. Our transit of the Panama Canal is compelling for other reasons, as well. We make the transit over two days, so you can see the inner workings of the locks by day, and dramatically lit at night—enabling you to stand on deck and experience the canal on a tropical evening. It also leaves us time to experience the wildness of the Canal Zone—a surprise to many travelers.

  • Panama City, Republic of Panama Ciudad De Panama' Is the Largest City and Capital on the Isthmus of Panama
    Panama City, Republic of Panama Ciudad de Panama' is the largest city and capital on the Isthmus of Panama. The Republic of Panama has a population of about 4 million people. It borders the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, as well as Central and South America. The origins of Panama date back to 11,000 BC. Pottery and trading between Mexico and Peru were known in 2,500 BC. "There are seven unique indigenous cultures of Panama, which make up about 13% of the country’s population (currently around 4 million). These cultures are typically divided into four major groups based on language, traditions, and locations. These are the Ngöbe‐Buglé, the Kuna, the Emberá‐Wounaan, and the Naso‐Bribri." <zegrahm.com> The Spaniard conquistadors founded the first city in Panama in 1519. Old Panama (Panama la Vieja) became their chief post of the Pacific. "Panama City was founded by Spanish governor Pedro Arias de Ávila not long after conquistador Vasco Núñez de Balboa first saw the Pacific." <lonelyplant.com> It became a pass‐through for treasures found in Peru's mines and the pearl fisheries in the Bay of Panama. A series of fires devastated the city, but it was Captain Henry Morgan, a Welsh privateer sponsored by England, who sacked Panama in 1671. <thoughtco.com> "The privateers stayed for about four weeks, digging through the ashes, looking for fugitive Spanish soldiers in the hills and looting the small islands in the bay where many had sent their treasures. When it was tallied, it was not as big a haul as many had hoped for, but there was still quite a bit of plunder and every man received his share.

The terminal facilities now under construction pro - vide for a system of piers at both entrances of the Canal , with appliances for rapid handling of cargo . It should be remembered that a large amount of the trade by way o f the Canal will not be through traffic ; that is. ships from New York, New Orleans, Liverpool, and other ports, will touch at Colon, unload part of their cargo, and then sai l to other ports on the Atlantic seaboard . Ships for the west coast of the Americas and for the Orient will stop at th e docks, pick up this freight, and carry it to its destination . At the Atlantic entrance a mole has been constructed from the village of Cristobal, at right angles to the Cana l channel for a distance of 3,500 feet. Pro- Atlantic jecting from this mole inland, almost paralle l Entrance. to the Canal, will be the terminal docks . A quay-wall and two piers are under construc- tion ; the layout is such that, as soon as the trade demand s it, three more piers can be built . The piers are 1,000 feet long and the slips between them 300 feet wide, so that two 1,000 foot ships may dock at one time without entering the Canal itself. The direction of the mole is such, with relation to the Canal entrance and the breakwater which juts out from Toro Point, that it will aid materially in breaking the force of the heavy seas which the violen t northers of November, December, and January, pile up in Colon harbor.
