Entrance to the canal, from the Pacific

Pennell, Joseph, 1857-1926 · 1912

"This drawing was made from the channel which leads out to the Pacific Ocean. The mouth of the Canal is on the left in the flat space between the mountains; on the right of this the dark mass on the edge of the water is the docks and harbors; then comes the great, towering Ancon Hill... at the foot of the hill, to the right, Panama - as beautiful as Naples or Tangier, yet hardly a tourist knows it." Joseph Pennell.
