Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you Amir. It was very helpful to know that Soo was a short for Sault Ste. Marie. That I didn't know. However, I am looking for the name of that job in HEBREW.

Explanation:
זה קצת ארוך אך אני לא רואה מוצא אחר. את המונח "סכר הצפה" מצאתי בתיאור של "מסע אחר" את תעלת פנמה שמתפקדת בצורה דומה לתעלת סו.
