Miraflores Locks, on the Pacific side of the Panama Canal, is shown here in a wide panoramic view, with its paired chambers lifting and lowering ships between the ocean and the artificial lake above. The canal was built by the United States between 1904 and 1914, after President Theodore Roosevelt pushed the project forward in 1904 and secured the Panama route. Roosevelt visited the works in November 1906, the first sitting president to travel outside the country while in office. Its gates and lock walls are worth a close look, since they show the scale of an engineering effort that shortened the sea voyage between the two coasts by thousands of miles.
