The Panama Canal has a long history dating back to the early 16th century when it was first proposed. Construction began in the late 19th century but failed. The US later took over the project in 1904 and finally completed it in 1914 after overcoming numerous engineering challenges. The canal features three sets of locks and allows ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, significantly reducing travel time. It remains a crucial global shipping route today, though expansion projects are underway to increase its capacity for larger modern ships.
The history of the Panama canal ideal for students worksheet included, this is part of a legacy left to us by the great engineers of the 18th and 19th Century.

Ponente: D. Leonardo Daimiel, Ingeniero de Caminos, Canales y Puertos,
Tema: Conferencia sobre la construcción, funcionamiento y ampliación del canal de Panamá
Fecha: 29 de noviembre de 2013
Lugar: Universidad Popular Carmen de Michelena de Tres Cantos.
Resumen: El Canal de Panamá, inaugurado en 1914, está considerado como una de las grandes maravillas del mundo en el siglo XX.
Pronto celebrará su I Centenario, y para ello se apresta a concluir las obras que ampliarán su capacidad, con participación de empresas españolas.
La historia de la construcción del Canal de Panamá pone de manifiesto la capacidad de ingenio y esfuerzo humanos. Se calcula que más de 30.000 personas perdieron la vida para conseguirlo.
Esta magna obra tiene un efecto importantísimo en la comunicación marítima, porque acorta tiempo y distancia entre los océanos Atlántico y Pacífico, influyendo decisivamente en el comercio mundial.
Con el desarrollo de la industria naval, con barcos cada vez mayores, su ampliación se hizo inevitable. Actualmente, más del 30% de los barcos interoceánicos son del tipo conocido como post-Panamax, término que se utiliza para denominar a buques que por su tamaño no pueden utilizar el actual Canal de Panamá. Pero podrán utilizarlo tras la ampliación en curso.
De todo ello se hablará en esta conferencia, con profusión de fotografías ilustrativas de los tema
