Canal Culebra Observation Panama Platform Viewed
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glance into the Past: Culebra Cut Observed from the Y.M.C.A. Building Platform, Culebra, Panama Canal, 1910 2.. This photograph, taken in 1910, offers a historical perspective of the Culebra Cut, a crucial section of the Panama Canal, as viewed from the Observation Platform of the Y.M.C.A. (Young Men's Christian Association) Building in Culebra, Panama. The image encapsulates the grandeur and magnitude of the engineering feat that transformed global trade and transportation. The Culebra Cut, an intricate series of locks and channels, was a critical component of the Panama Canal, which connected the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Construction on this section began in 1907 and was completed in 1914. The Culebra Cut, with its narrowest point measuring just 1,250 feet (381 meters), was the most challenging part of the canal to build due to the steep terrain and the presence of the Culebra Ridge. The Y.M.C.A. Building, located on the Pacific side of the canal, served as a vital hub for workers and their families during the construction phase. The building provided essential services, including a library, reading rooms, recreational facilities, and a hospital. The observation platform, as seen in this photograph, offered workers and visitors a breathtaking view of the ongoing construction work. This photograph, taken from the vantage point of the Y.M.C.A. Building platform, invites us to witness history in the making. The image is a testament to the ingenuity, perseverance, and determination of the workers and engineers who labored to create this engineering marvel. As we gaze upon the scene, we are reminded of the significant role the Panama Canal played in shaping the world's transportation infrastructure and fostering global connections.
