Gatun Lake took shape in 1913, when the Chagres River was dammed at Gatun to form the central stretch of the Panama Canal. At the time it was the largest artificial lake in the world, and its waters carry ships up and down the isthmus through a system of locks. Theodore Roosevelt pushed the canal project forward during his presidency, starting construction in 1904 and visiting the works in 1906, though the lake itself came into being after he had left office in 1909. The view looks south across the water toward the engineering that made the canal possible.
