Sketches in History | The Panama Canal

Sketches in History | The Panama Canal

The 15-Minute History Podcast team welcomes you back to another Sketches in History. This segment, just for kids, shows that history isn't just a story; it's an adventure. Join Lottie Archer as she dives into her extraordinary notebook, where sketches from history come to life.

In this episode, she travels to 1907 to witness one of humanity's greatest engineering challenges: the construction of the Panama Canal. Standing alongside Chief Engineer John Stevens in the sweltering jungle heat, Lottie watches as 75,000 workers from 97 countries battle tropical diseases, devastating landslides, and a mountain that seems determined not to be moved. In this episode, your kids will learn about resilience, discover how the impossible became possible, and witness the moment when thousands of determined workers proved that together, they really could move mountains!

Listen and subscribe to the 15-Minute History podcast to hear Sketches in History every other Thursday. Got a favorite historical moment? Share it with us at 15minutehistory@gmail.com, and it might just make its way into the notebook!
