Giant German Ship Transits Without Hitch Only Incident Is Injury To Worker When Line Snaps At Gatun The Panama Canal hung up another record for efficiency yesterday when the 51,000 ton North German Lloyd liner Bremen eased through the locks with but 4 feet between herself and the lock walls, and suffered nothing more serious that the loss of a bit of paint on the port side in rubbing the east wall in the middle chamber at Gatun. The giant liner, largest commercial ship ever to transit the Canal, tied up at Dock 15, Balboa, at 5:30 oclock yesterday afternoon, exactly twelve hours after the time of arrival at Cristobal. She sailed from Balboa for her next port of call at 1 oclock this morning. The most serious incident of the lockage was the injury suffered by Robert Thompson, West Indian seaman employed by the Panama Canal whose leg was believed to have been broken when a steel towing line snapped, striking the laborer who was on duty on the liners deck. Thompson was rushed to Colon Hospital where X rays were taken to determine the extent of the injury. Suspense Was Great Practically everybody on the Atlantic Side who was free to do so crowded onto the Gatun lock wall yesterday morning to see the huge vessel through the locks. Breaths were held as she glided into the lower chamber, a Panama Canal tug having escorted her up the channel from Limon Bay. Her docks lined with passengers and members of the crew of a thousand men, the huge vessel filled the lock as though it had been built around her. The suspense was greatest when she moved into the second chamber, seven electric locomotives holding her primed away from each wall. When she came alongside the control tower, so perilously close as the overhanging navigation bridge slid past, breaths were hel dagain. But there were several feet to spare because of the manipulation of the water and because the port locomotives tightened a bit on the tow lines, dragging the vast ship against the east wall very slightly. 2 Hours in Lockage She entered the lower chamber at Gatun at 7:18 a. m. She cleared for the lake with an assisting tug at 10:11, nearly two hours in lockage, with all veterans on the job and with nerves tense through the difficult and ticklish job. The liner reached Gamboa at noon, accompanied by a tug through the lake and by two tugs through the cut. She entered Pedro Miguel Locks at 1:57 p. m. and cleared at 3:04 p. m. At Miraflores she was also considerably delayed, entering at 3:25 p. m. and clearing at 5:00 p. m. She tied up at Balboa half an hour later, making a total of approximately 11 hours in transit from Limon Bay to the Pacific Side docks. Five Canal pilots took the vessel through under the supervision of Captain Thomas A. Symington, Marine Superintendent, Commander Nicholas Vytlacil, Cristobal Port Captain, and Commander Howard, Balboa Port Captain. Six admeasurers, headed by F. E. Williams, were required to measure the ship for tolls during transit. |
