The Panama canal is an engineering wonder constructed between the North & South America. Know the layout of the canal, how the ships get lifted-up above the sea level for transit, the lock gates, its construction and importance in shipping industry, as well as the dimensions of the lock chambers. slide 1 of 9.
Engineering was also changed to the lake and lock canal idea, which Roosevelt was a proponent for. This system involved damming the Chagres, creating a lake in the interior of the country. Locks would then raise ships out of the Atlantic to the lake's level, allowing them to cross to locks on the Pacific side. Despite more setbacks (including broken equipment, weather, and natural disasters) and another unexpected change of engineers, the Panama Canal was finally completed on September 26, 1913.
