Although there are no files so that story before Colonial times, Native Americans used the Isthmus of Panama for commercial purposes. However, when the Colony began, the Spanish King Charles I was the one who first imagine the possibility of a route to join the Caribbean Sea to the south (Ocean Pacific).
Three centuries later in 1880, a major French group led by Ferdinand de Lesseps, who had built the Suez Canal, beginning the construction of a canal at sea level. After 20 years of struggle, the financial defeated and diseases. In 1903, Panamanian and U.S. governments signed a treaty to restart the construction of the waterway. Thanks to an outstanding group of Americans, this great achievement of mankind, became a reality. Finally, 10 years later, the M / S ANCON was the first ship to transit the Panama Canal.
