The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans across the Isthmus (a narrow strip of land with sea on either side) of Panama. The canal is about 80 km (50 mi) long. Its construction, begun by Ferdinand de Lesseps in 1881, it was abandoned in 1889 and was completed by the U.S. between 1904–14. Control of the canal remained with the U.S. until 1999, when it was ceded to Panama.
