Best Answer

The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic Ocean and The Pacific Ocean. Before the canal opened, ships had to travel almost 3,000 miles to get around South America. When the canal opened in August 1914, the ships had a shorter route around the continent. They had to pass through two lock gates. The Gatun, and the Miraflore locks. The canal was successfully opened in 1914, with the first ship, the U.S.S Missouri, to be the first to pass through.
