Since the Panama Canal opened about 100 years ago in 1914, well over 800,000 ships have passed through it. Most of the ships are traveling from the east coast of the United States to the Far East.
Ships traveling from Balboa to Colon in Panama cross through one set of locks at the Panama Canal. The Panama Canal has a system of locks that raise and lower ships to the level of Gatun Lake, which is then crossed to reach the other set of locks at the other end of the canal.
The panama canal was not that great for Panama until it was controled by panana itself because Pana could not tax from it but it still brought many ships around in the area. Since they can tax from it now though they do benefit from it alot
The purpose of the Panama canal is to connect the Pacific ocean to the Atlantic ocean. Without it ships would have to round South America to make that journey, so the canal saves a lot of time.
Anger flared in the 1960s and led to anti-American riots. The U.S. and Panamanian governments began to work together to solve the territorial issue. In 1977, U.S. President Jimmy Carter signed a treaty which agreed to return 60% of the Canal Zone to Panama in 1979. The canal and remaining territory, known as the Canal Area, was returned to Panama at noon (local Panama time) on December 31, 1999. So not many ships passed through the Panama Canal in this year.
