\nThe Panama Canal is an artificial 82 km (51 mile) waterway in Panama that connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean. It is a key conduit for international maritime trade.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Panama Canal: Links the Atlantic Ocean (via the Caribbean Sea) and the Pacific Ocean.
\n– Suez Canal: Links the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.
\n– Strait of Malacca: A major shipping lane linking the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean (via the South China Sea).
\n<\/section>\n
\nConstruction of the Panama Canal by the United States began in 1904 and it officially opened on August 15, 1914. It significantly reduced the time and distance required for ships to travel between the two great oceans, eliminating the need to navigate around the southern tip of South America (Cape Horn).
