LD,
The canal is the Panama Canal. And, at the risk of sounding arrogant,

that
is not a tall ship, it is a big container ship. What is typically

referred
to as a Tall Ship has cloth sails, masts and miles of ropes.


Since you're being picky, I used to crew on a T10 sail boat and yes
we did have a mast and sails but not a single rope. But we did have
miles of "lines". :-)
