I did not begin building the panama canal, and I did not finish it either.
Construction on the Panama Canal was started by France on the 1st of January 1881. They worked on it until the 15th of May 1889, when the company in charge of the project had to stop due to bankruptcy. After purchasing the excavating equipment, the adjacent railroad, etc. from France, the United States resumed the canal construction on the 4th of May 1904. The canal opened to the public on the 15th of August 1914. A third, wider lane is currently under construction and is scheduled to open in 2016.
