In 1920, after some thirty-nine years of problems with disease, high costs, and politics, the Panama
officially opened, finally linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by allowing ships to pass through the fifty-mile
canal zone instead of traveling some seven thousand miles around Cape Horn. It takes a ship approximately eight
hours to complete the trip through the canal and costs an average of fifteen thousand dollars, one-tenth of what it
would cost an average ship to round the Horn. More than fifteen thousand ships pass through its locks each year.
The French initiated the project but sold their rights to the United States. The latter will control it until the end of
the twentieth century when Panama takes over its duties.
