PANAMA-CANAL-100TH ANNIVERSARY-FILE
(FILES) This 15 August, 1914, file photo shows the New York-registered SS Ancon crossing the Culebra cut of the Panama Canal on opening day, as seen from Cerro Luisa, looking north. Next August 15 marks the 100th anniversary of the Panama Canal, considered to be one of the 20th century's marvels of engineering and through which goes five percent of the maritime world trade. Panama took control of the 80-km-long canal and the 1,426-square-km enclave that surrounds it at midnight on December 31, 1999 according to the 1977 handover treaty signed by then-presidents of the US, Jimmy Carter and Panama, Omar Torrijos.
