The Panama Canal joins the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean. It is one of most difficult and largest engineering projects ever undertaken. it's located in the country of Panama and is run by the Panamanian government. Panama is in between the countries of Columbia and Costa Rica.
what year did panama move from south America to north America Another Answer: Ever since the Panama Canal has been there (1913), Panama is located in both North and South America.
The Panama Canal authority has set certain size limitations for vessels allowed to use the canal. The maximum dimensions are 955 ft length, 106 ft width, 39.5 ft draft (freshwater), and 109 ft height above waterline. Any ships larger than this must apply for prior permission which they will probably not get."Panamax" vessels are ships designed with the Panama canal specifically in mind. These ships are built to the maximum allowable size for the Panama canal and are the largest ships to regularly pass through the canal.The longest ship to ever use the canal was the San Juan Prospector, a 973 foot long oil tanker.The widest ships to ever use the canal were the USS North Carolina and the USS Washington which are just over 108 feet wide.The Panama canal is currently undergoing an expansion, due to be finished in 2014. This expansion will allow the canal to handle much larger ships.
The Panama Canal workers suffered from deadly endemic diseases. These were known as yellow fever and malaria. These diseases practically disabled many and killed at least 20k workers in the 1880's.

Panama has had four tidal waves since 1882. One hundred people have died from them. The highest was three meters high.
The lowest toll paid was $0.36 cents (US) and was paid by Richard Halliburton who crossed the canal swimming.OHH! andd i like oreos:)It takes 52 million gallons of water for each ship to pass through the canal.The largest toll ever paid was $141,344.91; by the Crown Princess.The smallest toll ever paid was $.36; by a man who swam the canal in 1928.Built entirely by illegal immigrants in the late 1800's, holds water, the cause of several deaths, located in Panama.
This waterway cuts across the Isthmus of Panama to provide an international maritime trade route. Work on the canal began in 1881 and it was completed in 1914. More than 800,000 ships have made the passage since it's opening. The largest ship ever to transit the canal was 973 feet long and 106 feet wide.
