This photograph, taken in 1914, depicts the Miraflores Locks illuminated under the cover of night, as ships navigate their way through the historic waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The Miraflores Locks, located on the Pacific Ocean side of the Panama Canal, are a crucial component of this engineering feat.
