Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the potential of a ship canal through the Isthmus of Panama. In linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, it would form the shortest route between the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia. The author draws upon the opinions of scientific and practical men, who deemed the location favorable for such a project, and explains that the main obstacle has been a lack of sufficient funds to finance it. The author argues that the present era presents an ideal opportunity to move ahead with this project, considering the global demand for shorter trade routes and the potential for worldwide economic benefit.
