Army Engineers and the Building of the
Panama Canal, 1907 - 1914

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the completion of the Panama Canal in 2014, the Office of History has compiled the story of the USACE engineers who planned and executed one of mankind's greatest achievements.  In addition to this web content, the History Office has also unveiled new exhibit space at HQ USACE that includes artifacts, images, and video footage of Panama Canal construction.
