Suez canal transit in 30 seconds

from USS Kearsarge (US Navy)
The Suez Canal is a 104 Nm long artificial channel, 24 m (79ft) deep and 205 meters (673 ft) wide, connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.
Its narrow width limits traffic to one-way travel at any given time,
with only two points wide enough to allow passing.
The canal is the quickest sea route between Asia and Europe, 
saving an estimated 15 days of journey time on average
