Building Panama Canal in 1906
This image was captured in 1906. It shows the workers were building the Panama Canal which was launched by the United States in the second effort. It is an important picture because over 5000 deaths occurred in order to open the canal; and, the Panama Canal, which joins the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, became a main conduit for the international trade of the United States at that time period.
