EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Gatun spillway on the Panama Canal, a vital part of the flood control program implemented to combat water level changes caused by torrential rain during the rainy season. The excess rainfall in Panama during this respective time period often resulted in irregularities in water levels along the canal, making it necessary for structures like the Gatun spillway to regulate and transport water efficiently.
Dating back to circa 1915, this image provides a glimpse into the engineering marvel that is the Panama Canal and showcases how innovative solutions were developed to manage nature's forces. The intricate network of canals and spillways played a crucial role in maintaining smooth operations despite unpredictable weather patterns.
The beauty of this photograph lies not only in its historical significance but also in its ability to capture a moment frozen in time - showcasing both man's ingenuity and nature's power. Mary Evans Picture Library has truly captured a piece of history with this print, allowing viewers to appreciate the complexity and importance of infrastructure projects like the Gatun spillway.
