Without the Panama Canal, ships going from the east coast of the United States to the west coast, or vice-versa, would have to sail all the way around the southern tip of South America. Taking the shortcut through the Panama Canal saves thousands of miles and days of sailing time.
No. The Panama Canal passes through Panama.
Panama lol. Isn't that kind of obvious.
Nicaragua. I found that out in my report for the Panama Canal. =D

Panama is the only country the canal passes through. There was initially interest (a bit of which remains to this day) of building the canal through Nicaragua - there are three proposals being 'floated' around in Nicaragua currently to build a new trans-oceanic passing, but the Panama Canal only goes through Panama.
Obviously.
Panama! :)
no it cuts through Panama
The Atlantic Ocean is connected to the Pacific Ocean through a narrow canal called the Panama Canal. From the Caribbean Sea on the Atlantic side, the canal cuts through Panama, to the Pacific Ocean.
The Panama Canal was not completed until 1914.
The Panama Canal passes through the country of Panama which is located in Latin America by Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, etc.
