| ln a battIe against the ferocious AtIantic or safe passage through waters where ships wrecked and lives were Iost, it was an engineering feat that many beIieved impossibIe. This is the story of the Cape Cod CanaI and the men who braved the natural elements and the Great Depression by venturing into new engineering territory. In 1909 excavation began on what wouId become one of the greatest success stories of our time. The evolution of the Cape Cod CanaI into what it is today--a major commerce and recreational route of the Intracoastal Waterway--is a tale of determination, ingenuity, and the American spirit. Through historical photographs and expert interviews, the Canal's story unfoIds, and while traveling along on an Army Corps of Engineers Patrol Boat and Coast Guard vessel we see firsthand what happens on the CanaI on a daily basis. And we meet the peopIe who make the CanaI and its bridges functionaI and safe, keeping the Iegacy of the early engineers alive. |
