The Kiss of the Ocesans: The Atlantic Meets the Pacific through the Panama Canal - An Allegorical Depiction of a Historical Engineering Marvel This evocative print captures the momentous occasion when the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans met for the first time through the newly constructed Panama Canal. The image, reminiscent of a loving kiss, symbolizes the union of two vast bodies of water, brought together by human ingenuity and perseverance. The Panama Canal, an engineering marvel of the early 20th century, revolutionized global transportation by providing a critical shipping route connecting the North and South Americas. This map chart illustrates the canal's location, with the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. The canal itself stretches 50 miles (80 kilometers) in length and ranges from 110 to 1,050 feet (33 to 320 meters) in width. The construction of the Panama Canal was a monumental undertaking, requiring over 32,000 laborers and costing approximately $375 million (equivalent to $10 billion in today's currency). Completed in 1914, the canal significantly reduced the time and distance required for ships to travel between the two oceans, making international trade and commerce more efficient. This allegorical print, likely dating from the canal's opening, serves as a testament to the power of human innovation and the enduring connection between the Americas. The meeting of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans represents not only a geographical union but also a symbolic one, as the continents came closer together through this remarkable feat of engineering.
