The Miraflores Locks, on the Pacific side of the Panama Canal, lift and lower ships between the canal and the ocean in two steps, a design that let engineers work with the terrain rather than cutting a single deep channel through it. The canal was built by the United States between 1904 and 1914, and Theodore Roosevelt, who pushed the project forward after taking office in 1901, is often credited with driving it to completion. Roosevelt visited the Isthmus of Panama in 1906, becoming the first sitting American president to travel outside the country, and the locks stand as a lasting result of that commitment.
