The video covers the ambitious Oak Island project, where Rick Lagina and Gary Drayton, along with construction teams, prepare for a major excavation at Smith's Cove. The project involves building a 25-foot deep metal cofferdam and a new access road to transport heavy equipment, including a 300-ton crane.
