EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the Gatun Lock chamber of the Panama Canal during its construction between 1910 and 1914. The image, captured during the 20th century, showcases the engineering marvel of the time as the canal began to transform the way the world connected through water transport. Located in the Colón Province of Panama, Central America, the Gatun Lock is a crucial component of the Panama Canal, allowing ships to navigate the significant height difference between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The lock chambers, like the one seen here, are designed to fill and empty with water, enabling vessels to pass through. The photograph captures the industrial might of the era, with cranes and other machinery dominating the scene. The exterior of the lock is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and laborers who worked tirelessly to bring this project to fruition. The dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in image, held in the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance of the Panama Canal and its impact on global transportation. The panoramic view of the Gatun Lock chamber, with water cascading down the sides, adds to the sense of grandeur and accomplishment. This photograph is a fascinating piece of heritage art, providing a window into the past and showcasing the remarkable progress made in industrial development during the early 1900s.
