Roebling’s Bridge | Christopher Carson Emmons | 2017

"Roebling’s Bridge" is the untold story of the family behind the creation and construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. Exploring the complicated relationship between Chief Engineer John Roebling and his son, Washington, this short film examines what happens when the son of a domineering father is asked to help lead the largest engineering project of its time. After his father’s sudden and untimely death, Washington grapples with the enormous responsibilities that have fallen onto his shoulders, questioning whether he is ready and able to step into his father’s shoes. Only Washington's strong-willed wife, Emily, is capable of building his confidence so that he may accept the fate that was forced upon him.

Emily Warren Roebling (Cold Spring, Estados Unidos, 23 de septiembre de 1843 – Trenton, Estados Unidos, 28 de febrero de 1903) es conocida por su decisiva contribución a la conclusión del Puente de Brooklyn. Emily se convirtió de hecho en el ingeniera jefe de la obra, después de que su marido Washington Roebling, ingeniero jefe sobre el papel, desarrollara el síndrome de descompresión durante la construcción del puente. Fue autodidacta en matemáticas.

The Gilded Age, 02x05 Close Enough to Touch, my thoughts...

Omg I'm so happy for Aunt Ada! It was brilliant she didn't allow her fears to stop her marring the Reverend Forte. Their so sweet together. I understand that Aunt Agnes had to marry that man she did and as result had a horrible marriage but I'm glad the Reverend Forte pointed out to her that it was for her own selfish reasons she didn't want Ada to marry him and not because she was trying to protect Ada. I'm also glad Aunt Agnes got her head out of her butt and went to the wedding! Because no matter what she said under the grumpy exterior I want to believe she actually happy for her little sister. Now I want them to find a man for Aunt Agnes, wouldn't that be amazing to see!

Ok I completely annoyed by the whole Peggy and her boss thing. How played out, over done, so predictable and well just lazy is that?! Why can't they make her character smarter than that. Be all like oh hell no fool, you're married. Yes we had a scary fucking moment back there but no we don't need to be kissing or anything else. Because it makes Peggy's character come off as less than she is, less intelligent, less brilliant. It does such a deserves to her character!

But Bertha's staff was so not on our watch mf! I freakin love them. Especially Church making sure the Duke didn't end up with a lap full of hot soup. And Watson for catching on to what was going on in the first place! Bertha needs to give them and Mrs. Bruce a rise!

Oh I loved, loved watching Turner's plan at revenge go up in smoke. Omg Mrs. Fish comments perfectly just hitting Turner's last nerve lmfao!! God their making me truly hate her.

Bertha's dinner party gown was so beautiful. I do like seeing all the lighter colors this season and flower prints. I thought Bertha was rather cute when she kept checking to make sure everything for the dinner was perfect and all her staff kept reassuring her. I would like to see more moments like that where she's well cute. When Gladys tried to walk further down the talk, Bertha all come back here you lol. I so knew one of the main reason Bertha wanted to meet the Duke was because of Gladys. If she gets her way Gladys is going become a Duchess. It was great Bertha and George are not longer fighting omg. I didn't realize how heavy that made the show until the episode. Even with the events with Peggy unfortunately the episode still feel lighter.

Oscar and Maude Beaton are very sweet together but I don't want to see Maude get hurt. If Oscar actually loves her, perhaps like one loves a very dear friend or a best friend than maybe it's alright but if not. He definitely needs to stop acting like any kind of goldigger though! I just really want him to have honest feelings for Maude is all.

Marian if she doesn't want to be with Dashiell Montgomery ok. But her doing cringie face everytime he said something in that direction is getting old and annoying. Could she please grow the same spine for herself she seems to have for everyone else.

It's so awesome they put in about Emily Warren Roebling the first female engineer. That whole thing Larry finds out is completely ture part of history. I really appreciate the show added. It's important that our women's history finally be included.

An engineer who led the Brooklyn Bridge construction instead of her husband as he was sick with decompression sickness. She crossed the bridge with a rooster, which symbolized victory, during the opening.

Emily Warren Roebling

#Historical

[yourreddancer]

When the Brooklyn Bridge was completed after fourteen years of construction, Emily Warren Roebling -- who was born on this day in 1843 -- was the first to cross it by carriage, carrying a live rooster as a sign of victory. Early in its construction, Roebling's husband, the chief engineer in charge of the bridge’s construction, became severely debilitated and bedridden due to decompression sickness. Emily Roebling stepped in to become the first female field engineer in history and supervised the bridge's construction for over ten years until its successful completion.

Ok, I *know* Emily Warren Roebling’s court presentation gown still exists and is in some costume collection somewhere. I’ve seen it. And we have

A portrait of her painted in it.

Can anyone remind me of what museum has the actual dress?

Are there any interesting events or stories related to the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge?

The Brooklyn Bridge stands as an iconic symbol of engineering prowess, connecting the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn in a testament to human ingenuity. However, behind its majestic silhouette lies a tapestry of captivating events and stories that unfolded during its construction. From tragic accidents to innovative engineering solutions, the history of the Brooklyn Bridge is as rich and intriguing as the structure itself.

The Visionary Engineer: John A. Roebling

The inception of the Brooklyn Bridge can be traced back to the vision of German-born engineer John A. Roebling. His dream was to create a bridge that would span the East River and provide a vital link between Manhattan and Brooklyn. Unfortunately, Roebling's life was cut short by a tragic accident during the bridge's preliminary survey in 1869. Despite this setback, his son, Washington Roebling, stepped up to fulfill his father's ambitious vision.

Washington Roebling's Struggle: Overcoming the Bends

Washington Roebling faced numerous challenges during the bridge's construction, none more formidable than the perilous conditions of working underwater. The construction required workers to descend into caissons, massive underwater chambers used to build the bridge's foundations. However, this came at a cost – the bends, a debilitating condition caused by rapid changes in pressure. Washington Roebling himself fell victim to the bends, but his determination led him to supervise the project from his sickroom using a telescope and a system of communication through his wife, Emily.

The Roebling Connection: Emily Roebling's Role in Completion

Following her husband's illness, Emily Roebling played a crucial role in overseeing the completion of the bridge. She became the de facto chief engineer, managing the day-to-day operations and communicating with engineers and workers. Emily Roebling's leadership and intelligence were instrumental in ensuring the project's success, making her an unsung hero in the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge.

The Great Roebling Feud: A Clash of Visions

The construction of the Brooklyn Bridge witnessed a clash of visions between Washington Roebling and his brother, Ferdinand Roebling. Ferdinand advocated for alternative engineering approaches, leading to a bitter feud that strained family relations. Despite the discord, the bridge continued to take shape, a testament to the unwavering commitment of those involved.

Innovations and Firsts: A Bridge of Many Milestones

The Brooklyn Bridge was a pioneering project that introduced several engineering innovations. It was the first bridge to use caissons on such a massive scale, and its cable design by John A. Roebling set new standards in bridge engineering. The completion of the bridge in 1883 marked the first time in history that Manhattan and Brooklyn were physically connected.

Conclusion:

The Brooklyn Bridge's construction is not just a story of bricks and steel; it's a narrative woven with tragedy, perseverance, and innovation. From the ambitious dreams of John A. Roebling to the indomitable spirit of Washington and Emily Roebling, each chapter of the bridge's history reveals the human side of monumental engineering achievements. As the Brooklyn Bridge continues to stand as a symbol of connection, its story remains etched in the annals of both engineering marvels and the human spirit.
