Do you remember the abortive attempt to build a canal across the isthmus in Mexico? This was just after Mexico lost the area to the US after the war and Mexico wasn't very happy about the land grant issued prior to the war which would have allowed such undertaking. Many road blocks developed but what killed the idea was the old problem of capital funds.

Shortly after, the US bought out the French efforts and finished the Panama Canal.
