Description
Photograph of Miraflores Locks, Panama Canal, [s.d.]. In the extreme foreground at center, a series of tall poles can be seen evenly spaced near a canal bank extending to the extreme background at left. A small marker is visible near the top of each pole, and a small sphere is visible at the top. A man is visible standing near one of the poles in the foreground. Running alongside each row of poles, a long track is visible. A small rectangular vehicle can be seen on the leftmost track near the center. On the other side of the canal, a large rectangular structure is visible at center, and a spanning bridge with thick supports can be seen in the background at right. Connecting the two banks of the canal, a large connecting gate is visible with an upper walkway. Water flows through the canal into a larger body of water in the extreme background at left. Also in the extreme background, a small mountain range is visible. Photo sleeve reports: "Copied November 4, 1926".
