| Description: | "For hundreds of years people dreamed of linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans across the narrow neck of land connecting North and South America. Travel between the two oceans involved a long and arduous trip around the tip of South America, a voyage that could be shortened by weeks and thousands of miles if a passage were cut through the Isthmus of Panama." |
