Grady Hillhouse does such an amazing job of presenting engineering topics to the layperson very thoughtfully. I'm not an engineer, but I always get completely drawn into their videos even when it seems like something I would have no interest in.

I didn't know anything about the engineering surrounding the Niagara Falls region, but this latest video leaves me curious about how the two countries managed to work together in those early years, with all of the disputes and collaborations involved.

There are quite a few documents about the building of the Niagara power plant at oldwoodward gallery: http://www.oldwoodward.com/gallery/index.php?/search/psk-202...

If the search link doesn't work, search for Niagara in the photo gallery.

I highly recommend visiting the niagara parks power station museum on the Canadian side - they have a very interesting exhibition of the old power plant. You can even go down to the old tunnel and walk through it to see how the water was diverted back into the river, fascinating stuff.

The Welland canal is also very interesting. There's something really cool about seeing a large ship moving _on_ a bridge while driving under that same bridge with a car. Also, the city of Welland has some nice bike trails iirc.

While it's nice to have a transcript of a YouTube video, if the text says "this is a map of the isthmus", it would be a good idea to actually put the map on the page.
