Gen Slover's New Header

USS Wisconsin BB-64

Transits Panama Canal 1957-1958

Gene's nephew, Jimmy Lee Slover narrates this video, which was taken around 1957-58.   Jimmy Lee transcoded the video from 8mm movies.  Initially thought to be the USS Missouri, Jimmy Lee corrects himself to properly identify the USS Wisconsin.

After viewing the video, take a minute to read "My Behind the Locks Panama Canal Inside Story" where I detail some little known facts about the Canal and its operation.
