The Super-Tanker Orion Hunter, passing through miraflores locks of the Panama Canal. This 860-foot-long ship, with a displacement tonnage of 86,800 tons, is the largest tanker and paid the higest tolls of any ship to pass through the Canal. Four pilots and twelve towing locomotives were necessary to guide this gigantic ship through the locks.
