| 520 | _a"The Panama Canal" by Harry Clow Boardman is a historical account prepared as a thesis for a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering, written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the intricate details surrounding the conception, planning, and construction of the Panama Canal, one of the most significant engineering projects of its time. Boardman outlines various considerations, challenges, and technical decisions made throughout the process of bringing this ambitious project to life. In the book, Boardman discusses the history of interoceanic canals, specifically focusing on the Panama route and why it was chosen over other proposed routes, such as Nicaragua. He elaborates on the construction aspects, detailing the organization of forces, the engineering challenges, and the sanitary measures implemented to ensure worker health during construction. The narrative also touches upon the social life of the workers and the economic importance of the canal, emphasizing its potential impact on global trade. Boardman concludes with a comprehensive view of the canal's logistics and the diverse elements influencing its successful completion, underscoring the canal's historical significance as a monumental achievement in engineering.
