"An all-water route between the oceans was still seen as the ideal solution, and the idea of a canal was enhanced by the success of the Suez Canal, the French, under Ferdinand de Lesseps, began construction on a sea-level canal (i.e., without locks) through the province of Panama (as it was then) on January 1, 1880. The French began work in a rush with insufficient prior study of the geology and hydrology of the region.[6] Mosquito-born diseases, particularly malaria and yellow fever, sickened and killed vast numbers of employees, ranging from labourers to top directors of the French Company. Public health measures were ineffective because the role of the mosquito was then unknown. These conditions made it impossible to maintain an experienced work force as fearful technical employees quickly returned to France. Even the hospitals contributed to the problem, providing breeding places for mosquitos inside the unscreened wards. Actual conditions were hushed-up in France to avoid recruitment problems.[6] In 1893, after a great deal of work, the French scheme was abandoned due to disease and the sheer difficulty of building a sea-level canal, as well as lack of French field experience, like downpours causing rust to steel equipment.[7] The high toll from disease was one of the major factors in the failure, as many as 22,000 workers are estimated to have died during the main period of French construction (1881–1889)".
