  • Building the Brooklyn Bridge with Erica Wagner

    Building the Brooklyn Bridge with Erica Wagner
    May 30 2025

    Erica Wagner talks to Patrick Galbraith about her book Chief Engineer, which was published by Bloomsbury in 2017.


    They discuss Washington Roebling, the man who built the bridge, and his extraordinarily prescient understanding of engineering. It isn't just a story about metal and rock but it's a story about fathers and sons and it captures, in tremendous detail, a time of great change. There was, for instance, a ferry company that tried to sue when the bridge was built.
