The Miraflores Locks on the Panama Canal's Pacific approach are the subject here, shown from the lower level in 1913, while construction was still well underway. The canal was American-built and was a signature project of Theodore Roosevelt's presidency, which he pushed forward after the French effort had collapsed. By the time this view was taken, the concrete lock chambers were rising to lift ships about 54 feet between the Pacific and the Gatun Lake level. The image is a reminder of how much of the canal's engineering was done in the open, by hand and by rail, long before the waterway opened in 1914.
