'The Isthmian Canal' is an address delivered in 1902 by distinguished civil engineer George Shattuck Morison before the Massachusetts Reform Club. Morison, who served on multiple Isthmian Canal Commissions, presents a detailed overview of the canal project, emphasizing the engineering challenges and potential benefits. He discusses the various proposed routes, including those in Panama and Nicaragua, and outlines the political and economic considerations that influenced the decision-making process. This address offers a valuable glimpse into the early stages of one of the most ambitious engineering projects in history, reflecting the prevailing attitudes and priorities of the time. It will appeal to readers interested in the history of technology, American foreign policy, and the construction of the Panama Canal.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
