ONLINE – “Panama Canal Beckons Ships of the World”

Utilized by over one million ships since its opening in 1914, the Panama Canal is considered one of the man-made “Wonders of the World.”

Constructed for $375 million, over $15 billion when adjusted for today, the 51-mile-long canal greatly reduced the time for ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Join Virginia War Memorial Director of Education Jim Triesler as he explores the history of this fascinating engineering project.
