The Brooklyn Bridge's towers begin in pressurized timber caissons beneath the East River, where workers excavated foundations at serious medical risk. Discover how John, Washington, and Emily Roebling helped carry the project from underwater foundations to steel-wire cables and the world's longest suspension span of its day. The episode explains caisson disease while separating Emily Roebling's documented work from later embellishment. Inside this episode: - Why the East River demanded unusual foundations - Excavating inside pneumatic caissons - Caisson disease and Washington Roebling - Emily Roebling's documented role - Towers, anchorages, and steel-wire cables Sources include the Library of Congress, the Historic American Engineering Record, National Park Service history, and contemporary project records.
