    Gatun Lock Chamber

    August 7, 2015 /

    The back of this photograph reads: “”I think this picture was taken where the first ships went thru the canal when it first opened”.

    Our record indicates this photograph was taken during a preliminary lock test, what can you tell us about that process?

    Was there anyone in your family that participated in this preliminary test at the Gatun Locks?
