Best Answer

The Caribbean Sea and the North Pacific Ocean are connected by the Panama Canal.

Prior to its' construction, ships traveling from New York to Portland Oregon would have to sail ALL THE AWAY AROUND South America. This is known in sailing parlance as "rounding the Horn", because Cape Horn is at the southern tip of South America.
