Victory ship in the Panama Canal (photos)

We came across these amazing photos of the PAN AMERICAN VICTORY as she transited the Panama Canal not too long ago.  She was on her final voyage from San Francisco, CA to Brownsville, TX for scrapping.  The Pan American Victory was the first of the last 4 remaining Victory Ships still owned by the U.S. Government to depart the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet.  She was shortly followed by the Earlham Victory, Rider Victory, and the Winthrop Victory.
