Learn About the Panama Canal

Considered the largest and most difficult engineering project ever, the Panama Canal was completed in the first part of the 20th century. It actually connected the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean through Central America. The 48 mile canal actually allowed ships now to pass between North and South America rather than going around the southern most tip of South America. A ship going from New York to San Fransisco now only had to travel 6000 miles in comparison with the previous amount of 14,000 miles. Enough earth and rubble was moved during construction of the Panama Canal to build a 16 foot wide tunnel all the way to the center of the Earth.
