| Summary |
Through the rainforests of Central America stretches one of the biggest manmade marvels on the planet, the Panama Canal. A colossal engineering project aims to double the Canal's capacity, almost a century after it was inaugurated in 1914. The Panama Canal owes its success to four key inventions found in a series of landmark canals. At the heart of each lies a major technological breakthrough that allows ever bigger ships to navigate landlocked areas. (From the UK) (Documentary Series) (Part 1 of 6) *Series Return* G CC |
