Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compilation of rules and regulations regarding the measurement of vessels for the purpose of determining the tonnage on which tolls are based for use of the Panama Canal. Enacted into law in 1937, these rules have been instrumental in determining the method of measurement and the tonnage rates applied to vessels transiting the Panama Canal since that time. The rules provide detailed instructions on how to measure the gross and net tonnage of vessels, including deductions for spaces used for specific purposes, such as crew quarters, machinery, and fuel storage. The book also includes interpretations and explanatory notes to provide further guidance on the application of the rules. These rules are significant as they provide a standardized method for determining the tonnage of vessels using the Panama Canal, ensuring consistency and fairness in the assessment of tolls.

Balboa Heights was the administrative headquarters for the U.S.-owned Panama Canal Company during the period (1903-79) when the Canal Zone was in operation. Murals in the administration building (still in use by the Panama Canal Authority) depict the canal's construction. The Canal Zone Library and Museum (founded 1914) in Balboa Heights exhibits relics and miniatures of important ships in Panama's history. The Canal Zone Government and the Panama Railroad Company, renamed the Panama Canal Company, designated as the civil government and operating agency, respectively, of the Canal Zone and the Panama Canal, effective July 1, 1951, by an act of September 26, 1950 (Superseded by the Panama Canal Commission). The Panama Canal Railway is a railway line linking the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean in Central America. The route stretches 47.6 miles (76.6 km) across the Isthmus of Panama from Colón (Atlantic) to Balboa (Pacific, near Panama City).[2] Because of the difficult physical conditions of the route and state of technology, the construction was renowned as an international engineering achievement, one that cost US$8 million and the lives of an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 workers. Opened in 1855, the railway preceded the Panama Canal by half a century; the ship canal was later constructed parallel to the railway. Known as the Panama Railroad Company when founded in the 19th century, today it is operated as Panama Canal Railway Company (reporting mark: PCRC). Since 1998 it has been jointly owned by Kansas City Southern and Mi-Jack Products and leased to the government of Panama. The Panama Canal Railway currently provides both freight and passenger service. The line was built by the United States and the principal incentive was the vast increase in passenger and freight traffic from eastern USA to California following the 1849 California Gold Rush. The United States Congress had provided subsidies to companies to operate mail and passenger steamships on the coasts, and supported some funds for construction of the railroad, which began in 1850; the first revenue train ran over the full length on January 28, 1855. Referred to as an inter-oceanic railroad when it opened, it was later also described by some as representing a "transcontinental" railroad, despite transversing only the narrow isthmus connecting the North and South American continents. For a time the Panama Railroad also owned and operated ocean-going ships that provided mail and passenger service to a few major US East Coast and West Coast cities, respectively. The infrastructure of this railroad was of vital importance to the construction of the Panama Canal over a parallel route half a century later.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book summarizes the Panama Canal operations report for 1921, describing the business enterprises and government functions of the Panama Canal and Panama Railroad Company. The text details commercial traffic using the canal, improvements to the waterway, and the maintenance of the channel, as well as mechanical and support operations including repairs to vessels, coal deliveries, fuel oil pumped, and provisions sold. Comprehensive financial and statistical statements are appended. Of note is that 2,892 commercial vessels made the transit of the canal in 1921, bringing tons of cargo. The Panama Canal is considered in terms of service as well as money, with over twenty-seven million dollars in gross revenue. The book includes a look at the broader trade routes influenced by the canal, economic factors in play, and the influence of the canal on United States coastwise trade. The author concludes with a discussion of the continuing debate over exempting vessels in the US coastwise trade from tolls and the impact such a change would have on canal revenues.
