The video describes the transportation of a massive cylinder, over 83 feet long and weighing 108 tons, from Greenwich to the Albert Docks in London. Due to its size, the cylinder had to take a detour through London, crossing Lambeth Bridge. Officially known as a flash-fractionating column, it is destined for Venezuela to distill mineral oil for an American company. The journey through London was slow and challenging, taking 15 hours to cover 35 miles, with minor casualties including a traffic sign and traffic lights. Despite these challenges, the cylinder's transport is considered a dollar-earning job.
