The Gatun Locks, shown here in 1913, were the largest feature of the Panama Canal's Atlantic side, lifting ships roughly 85 feet from sea level to the level of Gatun Lake. Construction of the canal was pushed forward during Theodore Roosevelt's presidency, which is why his name is attached to this image on the board. Work on the locks and the surrounding waterway was among the most demanding engineering efforts of its era, and the completed system opened to shipping in 1914.
