The Panama Canal officially opened on Aug. 14, 1914, when
the SS Ancon sailed the newly constructed 48-mile waterway from the Caribbean
Sea to the Pacific Ocean. That path linking the two bodies of water on the
Isthmus of Panama is mentioned a number of times in Carroll County history.
Distinguished international journalist Sadie Kneller Miller,
who was born in Westminster, worked for many years for Leslie's Illustrated
Weekly. She covered the early years of the building of the canal around 1908,
according to research by Mary Ann Ashcraft for the Historical Society of
Carroll County.
The opening of the canal gave a much-needed boost to Carroll
County agriculture, as it shaved more than 7,000 miles off the trip by ship
around South America to markets on the west coast of the United States and Asia
for Carroll County corn, wheat, soybeans, canned goods and meat products.
The year the canal opened was a critical one in the history
of Carroll County farming. It marked the end of an era that began in 1896 that
agricultural historian Carol Lee referred to as the "Golden Age." … http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0216-20140217,0,3710992.story

It seems that my invitation to join Biden and the mayor got
lost in the mail. So I took matters in my own hands and visited the canal, the
port of Colon, and Panama City for a history tour this past January. I also had
a stopover for an eco-tour of portions of Costa Rica and San Jose. … http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0216-20140217,0,3710992.story
