Roosevelt's name hangs over this panoramic view of the Panama Canal locks and the lake they feed, a project he pushed hard after the United States took over construction from the French in 1904. The canal was among the largest engineering efforts of its era, and the locks were built to lift ships over the Isthmus rather than cut a sea-level channel through it. Panoramic format suited the subject well, since the scale of the works and the lake stretching beyond them are hard to take in from any single angle.
