EDITORS COMMENTS
Uncle Sam's New Discovery: The Eighth Wonder of the World! On this historic day, January 22, 1913, Uncle Sam, the symbol of American patriotism and democracy, proudly stands astride the recently completed Panama Canal, presenting it to the world as the eighth wonder. Joining him on his left shoulder is George W. Goethals, the chief engineer who oversaw the construction of this engineering marvel. The Panama Canal, a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance, connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, reducing the distance and time required for ships to travel between the two bodies of water. This revolutionary waterway has transformed global trade and commerce, making it an essential addition to the list of the seven wonders of the ancient world. In this illustration, Uncle Sam is surrounded by the seven original wonders: The Tomb of Mausolus, The Pharos of Alexandria, The Statue of Jupiter, The Pyramids of Egypt, The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, The Colossus of Rhodes, and The Temple of Diana. These ancient structures, which have captivated the imagination of people for centuries, welcome the Panama Canal as their esteemed companion. This illustration, created in 1913, captures the awe and wonder that the completion of the Panama Canal inspired in people around the world. It is a reminder of the power of human innovation and the enduring allure of the wonders that shape our history.
