Cucaracha Slide, Culebra Cut (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

    That's "Cucaracha." From the wikipedia article about the Gaillard (Culebra) Cut: "The first and largest major slide occurred in 1907 at Cucaracha. The initial crack was first noted on October 4, 1907, followed by the mass wasting of about 382,000 m³ (500,000 cubic yards) of clay. This slide caused many people to suggest the construction of the Panama Canal would be impossible; Gaillard described the slides as tropical glaciers, made of mud instead of ice. The clay was too soft to be excavated by the steam shovels, and it was therefore largely removed by sluicing it with water from a high level."

    Interesting to see a sailor armed with an M1903 Springfield rifle up in the tower. Then again, it's June 18, 1918. There's a war going on. . .

    That should be "Culebra Cut", I think.
