The Culebra Cut, the deep excavation through the continental divide on the Panama Canal, is the setting for this 1913 view, a year when the project was nearing completion. Theodore Roosevelt, who had pushed the canal forward after taking office in 1901, is the figure the board connects it to, and his administration oversaw much of the digging. The cut was the most difficult stretch of the canal, requiring years of blasting, steam shovel work and the removal of millions of cubic yards of rock and earth. Worth noticing is the scale of the excavation relative to the men and machinery working in it.
