French canal and American cranes
Pennell, Joseph, 1857-1926 · 1912
"Near Mount Hope, which - for the French - should be called the Slough of Despond, or the Lake of Despair, is a huge swamp about a mile or so from Colon, on the left bank of the French Canal, seen on the right of the lithograph. This swamp is now filled with all sorts of abandoned French machinery. Dredges, locomotives, and even what seem to be lock gates, show amid the palms in the distance." J[oseph] P[ennell].
