The Gatun Locks, a flight of three paired chambers that lift ships about 85 feet from the Atlantic side to Gatun Lake, were among the largest engineering works of the Panama Canal. This wide view shows the site while the locks were still under construction, in the years after the United States took over the canal project from the French effort that had collapsed. Theodore Roosevelt, who championed the canal and pushed the work forward during his presidency, is the reason the board groups this picture with his portraits. Look at the scale of the excavation and the concrete forms to see how much earth and labor the project demanded.
