The Panama canal and la aqueducts,[object Object],By Jessica Gavin,[object Object]
Panama Canal,[object Object],A passage way through panama was first suggested by Charles V the king of Spain,[object Object],He wanted to ease his ships passage to Peru cutting off 8,000 miles,[object Object],I was not until 1887 that a plan for a canal for Panama was actually put into action,[object Object],Construction of the canal began in 1893 by the French,[object Object],The construction of the canal ran into many problems such as yellow fever, malaria, 10,000 death, and funding problems,[object Object],After ten years of construction, the French decided to discontinue construction due to funding,[object Object]
United states construction,[object Object],IN 1903, the US decided to take over the Panama Canal project,[object Object],They started out with precautions to make sure the same thing that happened to the French would not happen to them,[object Object],Precautions included cleaning of bragades, getting rid of malaria mosquito, running water, paved sidewalks, and houses fumigated.,[object Object],This attracted better workers,[object Object]
[object Object]
After finding a solution to this problem, the construction went smoothly
As of 1912, the workers totaled 50,000
On August 15th, 1914 the canal was officially finished
The first boat to cross was the Steamer Enron
5,600 died during contruction
