Pedro Miguel Locks, on the Panama Canal, is the setting here, and the board places the picture among images connected to Theodore Roosevelt's presidency. Roosevelt pushed the canal project forward after taking office in 1901, arguing that a waterway linking the Atlantic and Pacific would strengthen American trade and naval reach. The French effort had collapsed years earlier, and the United States took over construction in 1904. By 1913, when this view was made, the canal was nearing completion, and Pedro Miguel was one of the three lock sites that lifted and lowered ships between the Culebra Cut and the Pacific.
