The Panama Canal is a crucial waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, cutting through the isthmus of Panama. It consists of locks and channels that raise and lower ships as they traverse the rugged terrain. Completed in 1914, it has since become one of the busiest waterways globally, facilitating international maritime trade and significantly reducing travel times and shipping costs.
