Additional Information
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 the modern-day equivalent of $15.2 billion, the 51-mile-long canal has 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.
