"Immediate and long term significance of the St. Lawrence Seaway project is emphasized in this film. It shows how the development of the vast inland navigation system is related to our continent's growth since the days of Cartier. Interwoven with the story of passage is the story of power, from the primitive water wheel to the modern turbine and generator."

"This dramatic tale tells all about the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Waterway and how people have dreamed for years of developing vast power plants and a shipping channel from the Lakes to the sea. It gives an up-to-date picture of the St. Lawrence Seaway construction and forecasts its long-term contribution to the prosperity and security of Canada and the entire mid-continent. Both French and German versions of the film will be available later this year."
