Panama Canal Dredging Tales From The Swamps
A Philadelphia Record interview with Capt. James Wiltbank describes $20,000,000 spent on housing for engineers and workers along the canal route. He notes high death rates among laborers, mostly Jamaican and French, with about 15,000 at work and five thousand dying in the past three months. Progress includes two miles of canal dug, swamp clearing, and steam shovel work, while critics doubt completion unless swamp sections are solidly built. The potential saving from New York to San Francisco would reach 14,000 miles.
