The Panama Canal, which joins the Pacific Ocean on the West to the Caribbean Sea on the East.
Panama, the southernmost country in Central America, I suppose could be called a "thin sweep of land," but Panamanians probably wouldn't like it. Another, shorter name for this "thin sweep of land" would be, "isthmus." Again, Panama would be the only logical answer here--keeping in mind that Panama is divided by a canal as well.
The Panama Canal, built in 1914, which provided ships a lot more savings in time, money, and many other things by going through the canal through the Panama isthmus instead of around Cape Horn. (The tip of South America that curves slightly west).
