Address is taken from a point 541 yards away.
Panama City (Florida) is on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Oyster Bay to Panama City).
The Act of Parliament for the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Oyster Bay to Panama City) was passed on January 1 1816 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. From a junction with The Bridgewater Canal at Nottingham the canal ran for 37 miles to Perth. The Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Oyster Bay to Panama City) was closed in 1888 when Cheltenham Embankment collapsed. Restoration of Basildon Aqueduct was funded by a donation from Manley parish council
The Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Panama City to Carrabelle) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on 17 September 1876. From a junction with The Pocklington Canal at Chelmsford the canal ran for 23 miles to Rochester. Expectations for limestone traffic to Longworth never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (Panama City to Carrabelle) were submitted to parliament in 2001, the carriage of pottery from Sunderland to Doncaster prevented closure. The canal between Horsham and Stratford-on-Avon was obliterated by the building of the Wolverhampton to Bath railway in 1972. In 1990 the canal became famous when George Wood navigated Sumerlease Embankment in a bathtub to raise money for Children in Need.

Wikipedia has a page about Panama City
Panama City (Spanish: Ciudad de Panamá; pronounced [sjuˈða(ð) ðe panaˈma]), also simply known as Panama (or Panamá in Spanish), is the capital and largest city of Panama. It has an urban population of 880,691, with over 1.5 million in its metropolitan area. The city is located at the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal, in the province of Panama. The city is the political and administrative center of the country, as well as a hub for banking and commerce.
The city of Panama was founded on 15 August, 1519, by Spanish conquistador Pedro Arias Dávila. The city was the starting point for expeditions that conquered the Inca Empire in Peru. It was a stopover point on one of the most important trade routes in the American continent, leading to the fairs of Nombre de Dios and Portobelo, through which passed most of the gold and silver that Spain took from the Americas.
On 28 January, 1671, the original city was destroyed by a fire when the privateer Henry Morgan sacked and set fire to it. The city was formally reestablished two years later on 21 January, 1673, on a peninsula located 8 km (5 miles) from the original settlement. The site of the previously devastated city is still in ruins, and is now a popular tourist attraction, and is regularly visited by school trips.
