kevankiki Posted January 15, 2007 #4 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I happened to log on here from work and spotted her going through a lock too! My brother and his wife are currently on board, I am so envious, no doubt they are up on deck right now enjoying every minute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotterdam Posted January 15, 2007 #6 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Thanks .....a couple of years a go I did the Panama Canal on QE2 & it is fantastic....its the entire day & one I'll never forget.....if you want to do it - go for it. I met people from a RSSC ship that sailed through the locks alongside QE2 - they said they were jealous!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolgran Posted January 15, 2007 #7 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I think she is fast approaching the locks on Pacific side if anyone would like to log on and watch her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkpon Posted January 15, 2007 #9 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Bringing back some fantastic memories. The QE2 always gets a large crowd of locals watching her go through. I can remember the Captain saying that she hates to go through the canal and the tugs have to push her into the locks like a nervous racehorse going into the starting gate. Would love to be back on that beautiful ship now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transat_jon Posted January 16, 2007 #12 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I grabed the QE2 webcam images for the transit and converted them to a video file, it is saved at: http://www.geocities.com/shipcruisecam/data/qe2_070115panama.zip It is on geocities so there is an hourly download limit : so if you cannot get the file to download, try again an hour later!

transat_jon Posted January 18, 2007 #15 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Thanks for your praise guys. I also have captures from the lock cams, but these tend to be fairly jumpy. When I tidy these files up I will get them on a permanent location somewhere, I'll keep you posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPM06 Posted January 18, 2007 Author #16 Share Posted January 18, 2007 The webstream was really neat. I'm a civil engineer and would love to do a canal transit on a good ship. My late father was stationed in the Canal Zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transat_jon Posted January 28, 2007 #17 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I have moved the files to a permanent location at: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/pic77/qe2_jan07/qe2jan07f.htm Do a "save as" on the files to preserve my bandwidth, thanks.
