EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured print captures the majestic SS "Franconia" sailing through the iconic Culebra Cut of the Panama Canal. Taken by an American photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the remarkable engineering feat that is the Panama Canal. The SS "Franconia" a symbol of maritime power and elegance, gracefully glides through the narrow passage, surrounded by lush greenery and towering cliffs. The vibrant colours bring to life every detail of this historical moment, allowing us to appreciate both its beauty and significance. This photograph was featured in a booklet titled "The Panama Canal, The World's Greatest Engineering Feat" published around 1925. It serves as a visual testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in conquering nature's obstacles for global trade and transportation. Completed in 1914, the Panama Canal forever changed international shipping routes by providing a shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Its construction involved immense challenges such as excavating mountains and creating locks to raise ships above sea level. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness one of humanity's greatest achievements unfold before our eyes. The SS "Franconia" proudly represents countless vessels that have traversed these waters since then, connecting nations and fostering economic growth worldwide. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can now admire this piece of history with clarity and appreciation for all those who contributed their skills and efforts towards making it possible.
