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.
The Suez Canal first opened in 1869. The Panama Canal opened in 1914.
In the year of 1914.

Through the Hay-Herran Treaty the United States built the Panama Canal starting in 1903 ending in 1914 with the first ship passing through on August 15. The United States retained control of the Panama Canal until December 31, 1999 when control was handed over to Panama.
Panama just completed a major upgrade to the Panama Canal. The 1,200-foot-long COSCO Development was the largest ship to go through the canal. Disney Cruise Line's Disney Wonderis now able to go through the canal.
