The Engineer Who Built the Panama Canal

This story follows the real engineer whose decisions made the Panama Canal possible. Long before the first ship crossed between oceans, the project was collapsing under disease, engineering failures, and political pressure. Through careful planning, scientific management, and a complete redesign of the canal itself, one engineer transformed a failed excavation into one of the greatest engineering achievements in human history. This is the true story of how modern engineering, logistics, and public health combined to reshape global trade forever.
