Nicaragua Route Favored for Isthmian Canal Study
The Isthmian canal commission report backs the Nicaragua route over Panama, estimating total costs around 21599 4002 with Panama at 144,004,208 plus concessions. It notes Nicaragua would require harbor construction, water supply, and harbor work at Allende, with completion possible in years. Operating costs would be about 1,250,000 higher annually than the Panama plan, and transit times favor Nicaragua for deep draft vessels and faster passage through the canal. The report cites favorable trade routes, shorter passages for western South America exports, and better sailing winds aiding Nicaragua.
