is one of the greatest man-made wonders, an engineering feat rarely matched in the history of mankind, one of the most difficult projects ever undertaken.It is an artificial waterway in Panama that connects the Caribbean sea with the Pacific ocean.Locks at each end lift ships up to Gatun lake and locks then lower the ships at the other end. The French began building the canal in 1881, the Americans finished it in 1914.
I have crossed the canal twice, it is the most incredible experience.
