    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.
