 FORT
SAN LORENZO is about an hour’s drive unless you
have to make way for a container ship. The road crosses
atop the Gatun lock gates. The locks and the spillway
on Gatun Dam make a spectacular sight-seeing stop, in
any case.
This bastion is near the canal at the mouth of the Chagres
River, once the highly strategic and believed impregnable
key to the route across the isthmus. Pirate Henry Morgan
sorted out its secrets after his own pragmatic fashion,
enroute to Panama City. |
