Join us to learn all about one of the world’s greatest engineering achievements - The Panama Canal. Opening 110 years ago, it followed one of the world’s greatest failures: the French attempt to dig a ditch there, with death, bankruptcy and jail. The story includes Spain’s treasures of gold, the French Suez Canal success, the first transcontinental railroad, defeating malaria and yellow fever, huge dams and the raising of a sea-level ditch into the air to transform the world.

Presenter: Mike Czuchnicki, Best-Selling Author. Public Speaker, Business Advisor, Consultant and Executive Coach
