TIGHT SQUEEZE FOR LINER. —This is no landlocked ship, but the 51,000-ton German liner Bremen attempting to pass through Gaillard Cut of the Panama Canal, while on a cruise. She was the largest ship ever to negotiate the canal and the passage was a tight squeeze, as may be seen here. The ship took nearly 12 hours to pass through the canal.
