On August 15, 1914, four hundred one years since Balboa and his men cut their way through the Darien, the S.S. Ancon crossed the Isthmus of Panama from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. The trip took just over nine hours and forty minutes, and she did it without a hitch. Here are the details of that historic voyage. Trilingual story in French, Spanish and English.
