1914
Between 1903 and 1914 was the building of the Canal in Panama. When it was finished in 1914 it created a safer and quicker passage for ships moving from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean and up along the North American west coast. Until 1914 the ships had to make a very dangerous journey all the way south to go around the tip of South America. Because of the turbulent waters in that region, there were many early ship wrecks.
