The Panama Canal was not "discovered". It was started by Teddy Roosevelt in 1906 and cost over 300 million. The US Army Corps of Engineers directed most of the construction which involved the excavation of 240 million cubic yards of earth. It is 40 miles in length and opened to shipping in August 1914. The US paid Colombia 25 million as a redress for the loss of Panama.
