August 15, 1914 marked the first transit by a ship, the SS Ancón, through the Panama Canal. August 15, 2014 was the 100th anniversary of this historic event. These photos are from the public celebration at the Miraflores Locks that took place the day after the anniversary, on August 16. Residents of Panama, and some tourists, attended the nighttime event, with music and entertainment, while watching cargo ships pass through the locks.
