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.

I used to enjoy the photos people shared on Twitter for 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 so here's something from when we cruised through the 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 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 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.

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

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

Track it here: marinetraffic.com/en/ais/detai

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