Description

During April 1965, C.S. Stanley Angwin (2,500-ton gross) surveyed the route for the Tortola-Bermuda telephone cable which will provide the northern outlet for the 21-million W.I. dollar project in the Eastern Caribbean to improve inter-island and international telecommunications.

This photograph shows the camera station with Chief Engineer R. Wanless helping Assistant Deck Engine Driver C. St. Omer with the controls, while Cable Technician P.H. Pearce relays orders from the precision depth recorder.
