Truth and Verification: The video of the ship passing through a narrow canal is not from Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India, but the ship is sailing through the narrow Corinth Canal in Greece, Also known as a Narrow Man-Made Shipping Canal
The Corinth Canal in Greece is one of the oldest such canals in the world and a very important navigational route in the Greek archipelago connecting the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf.
Several other videos also suggest that the video is not from India, but of a canal in Greece.
A picture of the same cruise was earlier tweeted by a cruise company Fred Oslen on October 9, 2019 stating, “And she's through! Today #Braemar made history as the longest ever ship to cruise through the #CorinthCanal.”
And she's through!
