"Human Interest" Story Regarding First Neopanamax Ship To Transit The Expanded Panama Canal -- July 5, 2016

This is a great little "human interest" story on the first Neopanamax container ship to transit the expanded Panama Canal, at this link. New bits of trivia:
  • the ship was renamed to "pay respect" to the people of Panama
  • the photograph shows ample fore and after "room" in the lock -- one of the concerns of the NY Times
  • the choice for which ship would go first, was determined by a "draw"
And again, there is a nice photograph at the linked article.
