What is the waterway that allows ships to cross the North American continent passing between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans?

The Panama Canal, located in Panama, is a ship canal that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Panama is located in Central America, which is the southernmost portion of the North American continent; Central America is sometimes considered a subcontinent.

The canal, which opened in 1914, is crucial for international maritime trade. It allows ships to enter a lock, built at each end. The ships are then lifted up to the man-made Gatun Lake, then exit the other side of the isthmus through another lock. Around 14,000 ships pass through the canal every year and it's been named one of the American Society of Civil Engineers' seven wonders of the modern world.

The other two ways to get from the Atlantic to the Pacific are much further south and are quite risky. The Strait of Magellan, just north of the Tierra del Fuego at the end of South America, or the Drake Passage, south of the South American continent are both more dangerous, longer, and slower.
