Nicaragua Route Favored for Isthmian Canal Study
The Isthmian Canal Commission favors the Nicaragua route estimating total construction at 189 million dollars versus 144 million for Panama plus concession costs. It says Nicaragua needs locks and harbors, but Lake Nicaragua provides water, and completion could take six years with adequate force. The report notes longer voyage times for Nicaragua but says winds favor it, and recommends U S control.
