Panama Canal --An Amazing engineering


Panama canal is located in Caribbean area at near by of Mexico. It’s a man made canal. The panama connects to the Pacific oceans and Atlantic Ocean. That is the biggest tricky engineering project ever undertaken and after long distance of year has been completed since 1913 around and opened on 1914s. the Panama canal is short the distance of shipping in between Pacific ocean to Atlantic ocean. A ship sailing from New York to San Francisco using the canal travels 9,500 km (6,000 miles), well under half the 22,500 km (14,000 mile) route around Cape Horn. The concept of the panama canal started in the 16th century. In 1880 some greatest French leadership organizations came and began the work to canal. But it’s that time too bad because some deasease and forest animals, lizard created problem therefore that time about 21,900 worker die about that reason. Therefore stop the work for long time. After few years the govt of United states started again the canal work and near about 1913 around the canal had completed. And since 1914 the govt of United state opened the canal for ships…This project short the distance of shipping therefore millions of money save to shipping, The Panama canal ate the 27,500 worker then completed, most of the worker die by the malaria, yellow fever and landslides.

Therefore that is the most awesome places due to many artifical lakes and natural lake located at there and most of the visitor come at there by ship and watch the beauty of panama canal. Other some best and ever green activities allocated at there. Which are promoted the activities and bring the lots of tourists at there. some rives and mountains also closed it therefore you can do safely hiking and other activities do that places.
