"This film details the Hydro Quebec project by which power was transported from the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, to the south shore through four twenty-eight mile cables which were laid underwater. Shots include: designing and manufacturing the cables; testing the cables for voltage capacity; loading the cables onto HMS Monarch; laying out the cables along the bottom of the river; joining the cables from the north shore power station to the south shore sub-station."
