The trip from New York City to San Francisco via the Panama Canal is approximately 7,800 miles, while the route through the Strait of Magellan is about 9,600 miles. Therefore, the trip through the Panama Canal is roughly 1,800 miles shorter than the journey through the Strait of Magellan. This significant difference highlights the efficiency of the Panama Canal for maritime travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
