Panama Canal Mighty Marvel of Civilisation and Commerce
The canal's vast engineering lifts ships via Gatun Lake and three locks, linking Atlantic and Pacific. It shows the 42 mile channel, Gatun Dam, Culebra Cut, and Miraflores locks enabling two ships per hour and substantial economic and defense benefits. The work cuts travel from New York to San Francisco by thousands of miles, saving time and interest costs.
