This marvellous sequence of pictures were taken by Jean-Michel Lanuque from the Tahitien of Calédonien passing in the opposite direction through the Pedro-Miguel locks in the Panama Canal in 1971. Sadly, both ships were on their final voyage under the MM flag. They were subsequently docked at Marseilles, one in front of the other, awaiting sale. Tahitien was on its way to Australia and Calédonien was heading for Marseilles.
