PANAMA CANAL
Following the failure of a French construction team in the 1880s, the United States commenced
building a canal across a 50-mile stretch of the Panama isthmus in 1904. The project was helped
by the elimination of disease-carrying mosquitoes, while chief engineer John Stevens devised
innovative techniques and spurred the crucial redesign from a sea-level to a lock canal. His
successor, Lt. Col. George Washington Goethals, stepped up excavation efforts of a stubborn
mountain range and oversaw the building of the dams and locks. Opened in 1914, oversight of the
world-famous Panama Canal was transferred from the U.S. to Panama in 1999.
