Cont or TH Grad Isps Canal John Trautwine Says No Canal Feasible
Engineer John Trautwine, tied to Paunina railroad work and the Ate tratro route exploration, argues a canal cannot be built where the Ipthina would lie for less than 8300,000,000. He says a canal along the favored route would require tide locks at both ends, tides rising sixteen to twenty feet on the Pacific side and only about two feet on the Atlantic side, and that two tidal locks would impede navigation.
