Read this paragraph that a student wrote as part of a paper for history class.
1 The Panama Canal remains one of the greatest inventions in the history of the world. 2 Until its completion in 1914, only one long, arduous route existed for ships traveling between the east and west coasts of the United States. 3 The ships had to sail down to the southern-most tip of South America, around the tip of Cape Horn, and then back up the western coast of the continent. 4 When the Panama Canal was built, it gave ships a route through the middle of Panama in Central America. 5 This mind-blowing new route was way less intense and made the ships’ voyages approximately 8,000 nautical miles shorter.
