Building the Panama Canal: Roosevelt's Bold Legacy #panamacanal #theodoreroosevelt #engineering
This video delves into the fascinating story behind the construction of the Panama Canal, a project President Theodore Roosevelt considered one of his greatest contributions to U.S. foreign policy. The narrative highlights key milestones: the strategic importance of the canal, early efforts by Ferdinand de Lesseps, and the challenges faced during construction.
[Part 1]:
We explore the need for a shortcut between oceans, beginning with maps and early attempts. Notable moments include the USS Oregon’s lengthy journey around South America during the Spanish-American War, scenes of President McKinley and TR in 1901, and a glimpse of key figures at McKinley’s funeral in Canton, Ohio. Dr. William C. Gorgas' crucial work in eliminating yellow fever among workers, along with TR’s historic visit to Panama in 1906, and his meeting with President Manuel Amador Guerrero are also featured.
[Part 2, 14:09 min]:
The focus shifts to the remarkable engineering feats that made the canal a reality. You'll see sequences of machinery, cranes, steam shovels, and workers at the heart of the project. We showcase the Gamboa Dike, Miraflores and Gatun Locks, and the monumental Gaillard (Culebra) Cut. The video concludes with President Calvin Coolidge's speech as boats and battleships pass through the fully operational canal.
