Completed

The Panama Canal is a waterway in Panama that opened in 1914, shortening the voyage around South America. It raises ships 85 feet through lock chambers to Gatun Lake and lowers them back to sea level. The canal has visitor centers with observation decks and offers partial transit cruises. It was expanded in 2016 with a third set of locks for larger vessels.
