The Nature of Things

Canals and Tunnels (9x6)

: 21, 1968

The great engineers of the past - men like de Lesseps of Suez fame and Panama infamy and Bradley - whose canals were the arteries of the industrial revolution, sacrificed the health and fortune, and sometimes the lives, of themselves and others, to build the first great canals and tunnels. Their story and the story of all kinds of modern canals and tunnels used for transportation are told. Includes historic footage.
