That is awesome! I have seen video and pictures of it before, I have never seen it in person, I have been through the Panama and Suez though. That canal really improved the trade routes in the region.

Hope no one else is comming toward you, because it a B!TCH to try and backup.

LOL

Wow... very cool.

From Wiki:

The canal is 6.3 kilometres in length and was built between 1881 and 1893.

The Corinth Canal is considered a great technical achievement for its time. It saves the 400 kilometres long journey around the Peloponnesus for smaller ships, but since it is only 21 metres wide it is too narrow for modern ocean freighters. The canal is nowadays mostly used by tourist ships; 11,000 ships per year travel through the waterway. The water in the canal is 8 metres deep.

At each end of the canal, seashore roads cross using submersible bridges that are lowered to the canal bottom to allow maritime traffic to pass.

The canal was cut through heavily faulted sedimentary rock in an active seismic zone. Between 1893 and 1940, it was closed a total of four years for maintenance and to stabilize the walls. In 1923 alone, 41,000 cubic meters of material fell into the canal, which required two years to clear it out.

I went through there in the early 70's - not for the claustrophobic. :D

Been there too. Almost surrealistic view from the bottom. Cool pics!

I used to know a girl with the same specifications.....!

Canal
 

and now if they dig a hole in the ground, you need 100 permit's, technical studies and 50 engineers to tell you how to hold a shovel.

wonder how much it would cost in todays $$$$ and how long it would take from idea to finished canal.

You got it Fritz....and it worst here in Canada for that kind of fu***** studies and commitees.:rolleyes:
