It's currently 1 am and I gotta be up at 545 but these documentaries are just too interesting

Two improvements happened after this documentary... 1) Total rehabilitation of the Panama Canal railway including conversion to standard gauge, replace all the ties and rails and and use new engines and flat cars for container shipments. 2) The Panama Canal expansion project completed 2016

The Johnstown dam was privately owned by a hunting lodge. The lodge closed and maintenance on the dam ceased. The bypass channel for the dam was not cleaned and during a heavy rain, the bypass channel backed up and over stressed the dam itself which caused the failure.

AWSOME IDEA MR.STEVENS👍👍

The Canal was built with Manpower Mulepower and Steam Mu grandfather Eldred Solomon Glass worked in the Steam Shops until he contracted yellow fever, he had gained his knowledge in the shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad

That was an incredible documentary ! So Interesting, and well done! Thanks,

Liked the documentry. I have issue giving credit to Edison for the electrical power for the cannel. I believe Tesla built the first hydroelectric power plant at Niagara Falls in 1895. Edison was behind dc current. Looks like the Panama Cannel is powered by ac current.

Thank you.

Good info.. 🙏🏼 Tqvmc

The fee for ships to pass the new canal are higher. So cruise ships prefer to use the old one. Moreover, the fees vary by the time of the day, so you can see a number of freight ships waiting on the Gatun lake for (night time) lower fees. By the way, at one point there was a plan to update the locomotives. But the new ones failed in the damp environment in no time. Back to the old ones!

The Raw Trooth? The Western entrance to the Panama Canal leads into the Caribbean, not the Pacific. The Pacific Ocean leads to the Eastern entrance! Unbelievable but true.

The film is incorrect about the Titanic being the SECOND of the largest ships afloat. It was the THIRD. The White Star liner RMS Olympic was launched the year before (1911). The OLYMPIC was the ship that received all the publicity and public interest. The Titanic was almost identical to the Olympic, differing in only a few cosmetic details. In contrast to the Olympic, the Titanic received much less publicity than the Olympic when it was launched. However, of course, everyone remembers the Titanic because it sank; practically no one remembers the Olympic. When the Olympic was only 3 years old, World War I broke out. The ship was removed from passenger service and turned into a troop carrier. After the war, the luxury class for which the two ships were designed was much smaller. The Olympic continued carrying limited numbers of first- and second-class passengers, but it was mainly an "emigrant carrier" (3rd class, of course, which was still greater luxury than a lot of 3rd-class passengers had ever seen), to help transport the hundreds of thousands of emigrants from postwar Europe to the US and other countries. It was decommissioned in the early 1930s and cut up for scrap in 1937. If the Titanic had not sunk, its history probably would have been the same as the Olympic's, and practically no one alive today would ever have heard of it. P.S. After 1870, all of the ships built or acquired by the White Star Line had names ending in "-ic:" Britannic, Atlantic, Germanic, Arabic, etc. Whose idea was that? How should I know?

Stevens did not build the 1000 miles of rail road. He ordered the slaves to build it. Please do not try to overlook actual history.
