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.
