The Power Hour
From Steve Allen at Camp Stephens:
"These are some guys from Hydro who were replacing our submarine cable to our island.
"This cable had originally been put in 1961 and provides all the power to our island traveling from Town Island to another island and then to us.
"These cables usually last around 20-25 years so I guess we got lucky
with ours.
"They also had to fly in a (new)transformer by helicopter."
