The following is an article excerpt from Coinweek
Legend of the Seas, an appropriate name for the ship to carry Jeff Shevlin's 2014 medal commemorating the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Panama Canal. Jeff, better known to collectors as the "So-Called Guy", first thought about such a trip more than 10 years ago while examining the well-known 1914 Panama Canal Completion so-called dollar, HK-398. Recreating the passage while carrying a new batch of commemorative medals seemed feasible.

Plans began to take shape when Jeff commissioned a commemorative medal for a gathering of dedicated so-called dollar collectors in April 3-6, 2014. Daniel Carr produced the dies using the obverse of the 1914 medal as a model. 131 medals were struck at his Moonlight Mint and distributed to the 15 participants.

Heard an announcement on the TV news that the Panama Canal is to get a $30 billion re build to take the World's largest ships.
I guess that means the largest container ships, bulk carriers, cruise liners and aircraft carriers. There are now a large number of these ships of over 100,000 tons.
