Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a report of a naval expedition from 1870-1871 led by the author, a captain in the United States Navy, who was tasked with surveying the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Mexico, to determine the feasibility of building a ship canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The author and his team, along with a joint commission of Mexican engineers, conducted detailed surveys of the land, rivers, and harbors, analyzing water supply, elevation, cutting depth, and geological formations to ascertain the practicality of a ship canal. Their findings include the discovery that the summit western streams are inadequate for canal feeders, but that a feeder from the Upper Coatzacoalcos or Corte River, near its junction with the Blanco, is a viable option. The author also discusses the availability of water supply year-round, the necessary construction of locks and dams, and the potential impact of the canal on the region's economy and development, and considers the political and economic implications of such a project, acknowledging that the canal's construction would require international cooperation and investment and would likely have significant effects on trade and commerce. Overall, this book provides an in-depth and detailed analysis of the challenges and opportunities involved in constructing a ship canal across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and offers valuable insights into the engineering, political, and economic considerations that shaped the development of this ambitious project.
