Panama For my International festival project I will be doing Panama. The reason why I chose Panama is because I wanted to learn a little more about it. Also lots of families live there.

I just love how God made that country, It is so beautiful and all of the people there are kind and loving. So I
In history some would describe the Panama Canal as one of the greatest inventions of history. Several would question to ask what is so great about it . The canal was a 48 mile ship canal Panama that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. The canal was completed in 1914, it symbolized U.S. technological progress and economic power. Many things happened along the progress of constructing the canal. Still today it is known as a major invention for trades around the world and for human use
Panama is an isthmus or a land bridge in Central America that links North America to South America. The Atlantic Ocean (this includes the Caribbean Sea) lies north of the country while the Pacific Ocean is to the south.

Abstract The Panama Canal is the most impressive engineering marvel of the 20th century. The Panama Canal led the way for all future projects by mastering the elements of engineering and construction without the proper tools or machinery. The three Chief Engineers and workers fought through seemingly impossible excavations, high costs, and disease infested mosquitoes even after losing over twenty-five thousand workers. It forced the engineers to learn to plan for all elements and conduct field
Today I am going to talk about the Panama Canal and the history and the determination that it took to complete this enormous feet. It started with the French in the 1880's but, was abandoned after technological difficulties and diseases it could not be completed at that time. The need for the canal was great; for military purposes and for shipping purposes because without this canal ships would have to go all the way around south america instead of cutting through the canal to get from the pacific
The Isthmus of Panama Route= this route was traveled by ship to Panama. This was the shortest route taking between 1-3 months to complete. Ships set sail for Panama from east coast of the U.S. When travelers arrived in Panama they canoed up the Charges River for 75 miles. Then they rode mules for 25 miles through the jungle to Panama City. There they waited for a ship to take them to San Francisco. This was the fastest route of all three travelers could get to California in half of the time of the
