Gatun Locks, on the Panama Canal, was the largest lock system of its kind when it opened in 1914, lifting ships about 85 feet from sea level to the artificial Gatun Lake that the engineers had created by damming the Chagres River. This panoramic view takes in both the locks and the broad water beyond, with vessels working their way through. Theodore Roosevelt, who pushed the canal project forward during his presidency from 1901 to 1909, is the figure most associated with it, and the scene shows the engineering scale that made the project a point of national pride.
