Word History
Navvy is a shortening of navigator, which in the 18th century came to denote, as well as a sailor skilled in navigation, a labourer employed in canal construction (in some regions a canal was known as a navigation). The word navigate derives from navis, the Latin word for 'ship', which gave rise to navy and also to the nave or long central part of a church or cathedral, whose shape was likened to that of a ship.

Wikipedia
Steam shovel
A steam shovel is a large steam-powered excavating machine designed for lifting and moving material such as rock and soil. It is the earliest type of power shovel or excavator. Steam shovels played a major role in public works in the 19th and early 20th century, being key to the construction of railroads and the Panama Canal. The development of simpler, cheaper diesel-powered shovels caused steam shovels to fall out of favor in the 1930s.
