The caissons were all cast standing on parallel skids at about mean highwater. It was first intended to construct a small marine railroad andlaunch the caissons in that manner, rolling them along the skids to thehead of the marine railway. This plan was abandoned, however, and bysending in at high tide a powerful derrick scow, many of the caissonswere lifted bodily from their position and set down in the water, towedto place and sunk in position, while the others, mostly the uppersections, were lifted to the deck of the scow and placed directly fromthere in their final position.
