The Big Squeeze

Last month,16th October, 929 passengers held their breath as their 22m-wide Fred Olsen cruise liner became the largest boat to pass through the narrow 25m-wide Corinth Canal and claim a world record!

Dividing Pelopónnisos from mainland Greece, the Corinth Canal has connected the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf since 1893.  A birdseye view of the cruise transit can be found at:- https://youtu.be/oPkrmTELao8
