EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a historic moment that forever changed the world's maritime transportation - the joining of the Atlantic and Pacific sides of the Panama Canal. On October 10,1913, U. S. President Woodrow Wilson stood thousands of miles away from Gamboa Dike but remotely triggered an explosion that marked the end of years-long construction efforts. The image captures a scene filled with anticipation and excitement as a diverse crowd gathers to witness this monumental event. The dike itself stands tall in the center, symbolizing both a physical barrier being broken down and a gateway to new possibilities. As spectators line up along the railroad track nearby, their eyes are fixed on the explosive climax about to unfold before them. The photograph not only showcases this pivotal moment but also offers us glimpses into early 20th-century transportation methods and Panamanian culture. Preserved within Granger Art on Demand's carousel collection, this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of human ingenuity and determination. It immortalizes President Wilson's role in connecting two great oceans through engineering marvels while honoring those who dedicated their lives to constructing one of humanity's most significant achievements - The Panama Canal.
