The ss Kroonland of Panama Pacific Line cruised coast to coast through the canal.

From a 1926 folder here is what it was like with my memory passenger, Anita M.

Very nice. Thanks for posting.

These old pictures were very interesting to me because I remember my father telling us that when he was a sailor he crossed through the Panama Canal a couple times on his way to San Francisco. That was back around 1920. He worked in the engine room on one of the Holland America Line cargo ships.

We did the canal transit a couple years ago and, of course, it looks a bit different now.
