Lafayette Library and Learning Center

In 1904 President Teddy Roosevelt committed the brains of American engineering and the brawn of America’s industrial machine to build a canal of unprecedented scope and challenge. After an unsuccessful attempt by the French in 1889, the US succeeded in building a fifty mile sea level canal in Panama. Panama Canal’s successful construction was the result of the convergence of extraordinary men, machines, and methods.

Paul Giroux, recipient of the American Society of Civil Engineers’ prestigious Civil Engineering History and Heritage Award for 2013, will share highlights of this remarkable construction feat, illustrating how the right men, the right, machines, and the right methods all came together in 1904 to build a project of unprecedented scope and challenges.
