#856, 1939 3¢ Panama Canal
Issue Date: August 15, 1939
First City: U.S.S. Charleston, Canal Zone

Double Meaning: Roosevelt, Theodore on the stamp (highlighted for his part in the building of the Panama Canal) and FDR because he's the one who approved of the stamp design.

Also featured is George Washington Goethals (the Canal’s construction led by Army officer and engineer)

Also seen on the stamp is the “Gaillard Cut” – an artificial valley dug through the continental divide. It was vital in linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and was regarded as one of the greatest engineering accomplishments of its era.
