So What is this Canal?

-Made to help ships move faster between Atlantic and Pacific.

-Moves cargo much faster.

Ex: Before: New York/San Fransisco to Cape Horn (12,000 Miles/67 day trip).

After: 8,000 mile shorter trip

50 mile stretch from Colòn to Panama City.

Hope was created for better international relationships.

The Panama Canal is a modification to the environment.
