The Forth and Clyde Canal in the north of Glasgow. Designed by John Smeaton and constructed between 1768 and 1790, it allowed goods and ships to move from the North Sea to the North Atlantic without having the pass through the treacherous waters along the North of Scotland. It was the world's first man-made sea-to-sea canal, making it the forerunner of canals like the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal.

Two tankers have collided in #Egypt's Suez Canal, disrupting traffic in the vital waterway - ABC News

>The #SuezCanal authority said in a statement that the BW Lesmes, a Singapore-flagged tanker that carries liquefied natural gas, suffered a mechanical malfunction on Tuesday night and ran aground while transiting through the canal. The Burri, a Cayman Island-flagged oil products tanker, collided with the broken vessel.

I used to enjoy the photos people shared on Twitter for #SunsetSunday and it would be nice to see it become a thing here on Mastodon. This is one taken at the southern end of the Suez Canal back in 2019.

It's #TravelThursday so here's something from when we cruised through the #SuezCanal in late 2019. This was in the northern half of the transit when what had been thick fog was starting to burn off in the warming sun of the morning. In the distance you can see the AK-47 Bayonet monument, dedicated to the Egyptians killed during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. The monument is a gift from North Korea of all places.

For #MeerMittwoch a view from the Gulf of Suez at the southern end of the Suez Canal in late 2019. Nothing to worry about here. I'm sure ships fall over all the time and nobody gets hurt.

@KhunKai Well, we've only sailed the #SuezCanal once, so, luckily for us, we've only got the exciting memories. And the memories of the flies. So many flies. So very, very many flies.

#TravelPhotography from the last trip abroad we took before the pandemic put a stop to things for a while. This is the #SuezCanal and some views from the #CruiseShip on which we were making the transit. The upper section of the #canal was very foggy - at the start we couldn't even see the water - but it eventually burned off for some gorgeous sandy landscape views.

#OnThisDay #SuezCanal in Egypt opened, linking Mediterranean and Red seas (1869).

David Livingstone became the first European to see Victoria Falls (1855).

8/ Meanwhile, just to make the storyline more interesting, the #EverGiven will soon arrive at the #SuezCanal.

Battling very strong headwinds at the moment.

We hope she has calmer winds during her transit.

Massive container ship EVER GIVEN stuck in the most awkward way possible.

Ongoing for hours. Every tug Egypt could spare appear to be trying to pull it free.

A container #ship ("Ever Given") has run aground in an awkward position in the #SuezCanal blocking critical ship traffic between Europe and Asia.

You'd think a container ship registered in Panama would have experience with canals. 🤦

Also, a teeny excavator tried to help.

Thanks @rmcfadzean for surfacing the pic!
