EDITORS COMMENTS
An Angle in the Canal at Empire, Panama Canal" is an evocative photograph capturing a significant moment in the history of engineering and international relations. Taken in the early 1910s during the construction phase of the Panama Canal, this image offers a unique perspective of the canal's progress at the Empire section. The Panama Canal, a marvel of human ingenuity, was built to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, reducing the lengthy and treacherous sea voyage around the southern tip of America. The canal's construction was a massive undertaking, fraught with challenges, including the acquisition of the French concession, the difficult terrain, and the engineering complexities. In this photograph, we see a panoramic view of the canal's excavation at the Empire section. The workers, a diverse group of laborers from various countries, are engaged in the arduous task of digging and shaping the canal bed. The railway, an essential component of the construction process, winds its way along the edge of the excavation site, transporting supplies and workers between different sections of the canal. The turn of the century technology is evident in the steam-powered machinery, cranes, and dredgers, all working in harmony to carve out a passage through the continental divide. The image also reveals the vastness of the project, with the excavated land stretching out into the distance, a testament to the determination and perseverance of the workers and the visionaries who conceived and executed this historic endeavor. "An Angle in the Canal at Empire, Panama Canal" is a poignant reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the history of this engineering marvel and the human spirit that made it possible.
