Panama
Locks link continents
Panama is a country on the narrow isthmus connecting Central and South America, known for the canal that links the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
The Panama Canal revolutionized global shipping when it opened in 1914.
Ships pass through Panama daily.
A Panama hat, despite the name, actually comes from Ecuador. (Lowercase panama is the hat.)
