Very interesting and thought provoking.

If you've not been, I highly recommend a trip to Panama City to checkout the canal - it's simply mind blowing watching a super tanker go through the locks.

Do you have any data on the number of container ships that move through the canal that are simply moving from one US coast to the other?

That trip is long and expensive for me, so these videos will have to do: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=panama+canal+sup...

There's a webcam, but it's not a live stream.

I know there's a number someone in my research. I just don't recall it. I'd have to dig it up.

Keep in mind that there's a lot more than container ships that also move across the canal. Tankers being one example.
