Panama Canal cruise
It is always handy to preview where you are going. We enjoyed the book that helped us understand whst had happened in order for the canal to be completed.

One Fine Book for a Panama Canal Cruise
It is superb! I am a recently-retired submariner from the U. I recently purchased "Panama Canal by Cruise Ship" by Anne Vipond. S. Navy and was stationed at one time in the Canal Zone. I have transited the Canal twice on Navy ships and again recently as a part of a Panama Canal study program aboard the Isla Morada. I am a serious historian of the Panama Canal from before the Panama Railroad to the present. I have accumulated much information in the form of books and over 350 old postcards of the Panama Canal Zone. But I have never seen such a "meaty" yet concise history of Panama and the Canal as Ms Vipond offers. The
information presented by Ms Vipond is unusually factual and well-researched.

Misleading Title
What I found was that the majority of the book described ports of call that your particular ship may or may not visit. With the title of Panama Canal By Cruise Ship I expected the book to primarily be about the Panama Canal and what you would see from the ship as well as features of the various cruise lines servicing the Canal.
