Coordinates were from google maps but photos were taken from about 100 meters away on a cruise ship in the Gutan Locks.
This is the North Bound Rear Light (ARLHS PAN-014). Built in 1914, it is the tallest and most conspicuous lighthouse of the Canal.
"Active; green light occulting once every 4.5 s. Roughly 27 m (89 ft) concrete tower with lantern and gallery, painted white with blue trim." (
