In this spectacular feature-length documentary, oceanographer Jacques Cousteau and an NFB crew sail up the St. Lawrence River to the Great Lakes on board the specially equipped vessel, the Calypso. They explore the countryside from their helicopter and plumb the depths of the waters in their diving saucer. They encounter shipwrecks, the Manicouagan power dam, Niagara Falls, the locks of the St. Lawrence Seaway and an underwater chase with caribou.
St. Lawrence: Stairway to the Sea was directed by Jacques Gagné and Jacques-Yves Cousteau.
St. Lawrence: Stairway to the Sea runs for 1h 36min, and was released in 1982.
