This 1936 view of the Miraflores Locks shows one of the two flights of locks that lifted ships about 54 feet between the Pacific end of the Panama Canal and Miraflores Lake. Fort Clayton, the U.S. Army post in the Canal Zone, sat nearby and guarded the waterway's approaches. The canal is the reason Theodore Roosevelt appears in this gallery: he championed its construction after the United States backed Panama's independence from Colombia in 1903, and work was completed in 1914. The photograph was made more than a decade after his death in 1919, so it records the canal he set in motion rather than his own time there.
