EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment during the construction of the Miraflores Locks at the Panama Canal in the early 1910s. The image focuses on the center wall, where massive caissons are being carefully positioned to create the lock's watertight chambers. The caissons, large watertight boxes, were filled with soil and water to create the necessary height difference between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, allowing ships to transit between the two bodies of water. The Miraflores Locks, located on the Pacific Ocean side of the Panama Canal, were the first locks built as part of the Panama Canal expansion project. The construction of these locks marked a significant milestone in engineering history, as they enabled the passage of larger ships through the canal, reducing the need for transshipment at the Isthmus of Panama. The workers in this photograph can be seen meticulously aligning the caissons with the center wall, ensuring a perfect fit. The intricate process of positioning the caissons required precision and collaboration among the construction team, as any misalignment could lead to costly delays or structural issues. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the historical construction process of the Miraflores Locks, providing a fascinating look at the engineering marvel that revolutionized international maritime trade. The Panama Canal continues to serve as a vital transportation route, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and fostering global commerce.
