The French began construction in 1880 but nine years and 20,000 lives later they realized their plans were flawed and abandoned the project. In 1904, construction resumed under American supervision. First, they controlled the diseases that had claimed so many construction workers' lives. Then they developed an innovative design for a series of locks. Their dogged determination paid off when they united the oceans on January 7, 1914. Ninety-five years since its opening, the canal continues to enjoy great success. Even though world shipping--and the size of ships themselves--has changed markedly since the canal was designed, it continues to be a vital link in world trade, carrying more cargo than ever before, with fewer overhead costs. 505 0 $a Ambitious men -- "I took the Isthmus" -- Digging in -- Waters flow -- Dangerous times -- Care of the Canal -- Connections to greatness. 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Theodore, $d 1858-1919. 650 0 $a Canal construction workers. 650 0 $a Locks (Hydraulic engineering) 650 0 $a Canal ecology. 650 0 $a Disease management. 651 0 $a Canal Zone. 651 0 $a Panama $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Panama $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 1901-1953. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 655 7 $a Documentary television programs. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Nash, Bruce M. 700 1 $a Thomas, Andy $c (Filmmaker) 700 1 $a Perkins, Jack, $d 1933- 700 1 $a Dill, Robert. 700 1 $a Muller, George. 700 1 $a Degrummond, Joan Marie Ridge. 700 1 $a Tekosky, Steven. 700 1 $a Knight, Roger. 710 2 $a Jaffe Productions. 710 2 $a Hearst Entertainment (Firm) 710 2 $a Arts and Entertainment Network. 710 2 $a New Video Group. 730 0 $a Modern marvels (Television program) 941 $a 1 945 $a dvv 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20191005013039.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9A7932A8E73911E9AE43EA0097128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
