This view of the Gatun Locks shows the three-step flight that lifts ships about 85 feet from the Caribbean side to Gatun Lake, the artificial lake that carries vessels across the isthmus. The locks were completed in 1913, the year of this picture, and the canal opened to shipping in 1914. Theodore Roosevelt is tied to the project because he pushed hard for a canal while in office from 1901 to 1909, and it remains one of his most lasting legacies.
