Excerpt

El 15 de agosto de 1914, cuatrocientos un años desde que Balboa y sus hombres
cortaran un pasaje por el Darién, el S.S. Ancón cruzó el Istmo de Panamá del océano Atlántico al Pacífico. La selva densa, sin embargo, no impidió su viaje porque más de mil millones de galones de agua lo harían navegar por el nuevo Canal de Panamá.

On August 15, 1914, four hundred one years since Balboa and his men cut their way through the Darien, the S.S. Ancon crossed the Isthmus of Panama from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Dense jungle, however, did not impede her progress because billions of gallons of water would float the Ancon through the newly opened Panama Canal.
