>The interesting "oddball" thing was on the last trip we went through 
>the Kiel Canal (English Channel to Baltic Sea) . . .on a 70,000 ton 
>ship. The ship was built to go through the canal (funnel hinges off 
>and masts drop) and is so large and the canal so small you sail past 
>towns where you wave to people on their apartment decks!
>
>The ship's fee for the canal was $18,000 (an eight hour event) . . . 
>for the Panama Canal the same ship is charged $150,000!
