1838: A Moment in Maritime History - Divers Building a Pier or Jetty This image, titled "Divers building a pier or jetty," is a rare glimpse into the past, showcasing the intricate process of constructing a pier or jetty in the early 19th century. The photograph, produced as a lithograph by Day & Haghe Lithographers to the Queen and S. Bendixen Lith, transports us back in time to an era when man's ingenuity and perseverance shaped the coastlines. The photograph features a team of brave divers, each wearing the innovative John Bethell patent diving dresses. These diving suits, a significant advancement in underwater exploration, allowed divers to stay submerged for extended periods, enabling them to carry out complex underwater tasks. The dresses consisted of a watertight helmet, a weighted belt, and a long, flexible skirt to maintain buoyancy. The divers are shown meticulously constructing the pier or jetty, laying down stones and bricks to form a solid foundation. The intricate underwater architecture is a testament to the divers' skill and the engineering prowess of the time. The serene underwater environment is a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the construction site above the waterline. The photograph also highlights the importance of investigation and exploration in the field of civil engineering. The ability to build structures in the sea expanded the reach of ports, facilitated trade, and improved communication between distant lands. The daring divers in this photograph played a crucial role in shaping the maritime landscape and paving the way for modern engineering marvels. This image is a reminder of the rich history of engineering and the human spirit's determination to overcome challenges and shape the world around us.
