    Do these car carriers transit the Panama Canal, or are they too large? If they do, it would be a nifty photo op.

    Yes they fit but barely. Car carriers are BIG ships.
    Here is a Pic of the Andromeda Leader. It barely fits in the canal!

    Once apon a time I lived out on the Hopi mesa's . Well in Tuba to the north but close. Went to the Bean Dance and got some foul smelling stuff rubbed on my face by the Katchina's.

    Any ideas in here, how long a ship takes from prius-land to the UK?
