(Image: Getty) The Panama Canal , a 51-mile long artificial waterway that links the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean , stands as one of the most significant engineering feats in history. However, its construction also ranks among the deadliest, with more than 30,000 workers losing their lives over the course of the project.
Cutting through the Darien Isthmus, the Panama Canal was initially begun by the French in 1881. The ambition was to create a crucial maritime shortcut that would revolutionise global trade. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
