The Panama Canal was one of the largest engineering projects undertaken during its time. It stretches from the Port of Balboa which borders the Pacific Ocean to the Port of Colon on the other side, connecting the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean.
It shortened the time it took for ships to cross South America without having to pass through the notoriously hazardous Cape Horn on the southernmost tip via the Drake Passage or Strait of Magellan. And since it's been almost 40 years since the process to transfer ownership of the Panama Canal took place, it's time to test our knowledge on it.
