Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book charts the history of the Tehuantepec and Nicaragua Surveying Expedition of 1870, which set out to determine if a ship canal could be built across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Led by Captain R. W. Shufeldt, the expedition's findings centered on the crucial problem of finding a consistent local water supply for a canal. The author's findings ruled out previous canal proposals due to a lack of water but identified an alternate route with water supply from the Upper Coatzacoalcos or Corte River. In addition, new harbor designs are presented to facilitate use of the canal. The book provides a wealth of technical detail on the engineering challenges and solutions encountered during the expedition, offering unique insights into the problems and possibilities of constructing a ship canal in the region.
