They worked in regular street clothes without any face masks, etc. Wow, incredible how these guys worked so hard and such risks they took. Thank you men for your hard work.
@@ENJAYALLDAY57 I won't work in unsafe conditions. A lot of these brave men suffered long term health affects due to these working condiuton. That's the reason why we have organizations like OSHA.
This is incredible! These men worked so hard!! It looks so dangerous and it is tedious work, an hour and half to inset one segment of each ring!! Ugh, God bless them
This was amazing and makes me feel proud about being an American. The birthplace of the Ford..Dodge..Chevy..and Chrysler. The beautiful minds of those that built this country.
have to admit with the equipment they had back then was ancient...but the tunneling cutter was pretty neat....amazing stuff...thank you for posting this....
This is when America was doing amazing things. In the midst of all sorts of social issues, they did some wonderful projects back then. Sad that our nation has been sold off to the highest bidder, as well as our government. The only way to save this nation is to renovate every single bit of the infrastructure, and hire whoever wants to work at Union wages. No federal BS on who can and who cannot work, let every man and woman work their way out of their financial and social status.
America still does amazing things. Don't claim ignorance look around you the civil engineering projects we do are insane. Look at boston big dig, seattle's big dig, two small but massive examples of mega civil engineering projects America has done.
Nothing gets built today. The NIMBY gang protests, crazy work and union rules make it too expensive, and everything is studied to death and by the time they get through with the red tape the costs have gone through the roof and there's no funds to build the project.
@@CowboyLou69 Union rules? Lol Fuck you man construction is challenging and dangerous. Workers deserve to be compensated. Before you go around touting nonsense that I'm paid to much to sit in a box hundreds of feet above my coworkers heads swinging concrete and steel efficiently and precisely all while avoiding an always potential catastrophic and deadly disaster, look at some of these people who get paid what I make to fucking work in HR and read emails all day about how Susan and Karen cant get along.
Did you ever think that I'm those areas where the sound goes out there certain information didn't want you to know look for the original video try the history channel
Great film; I love stuff like this. However when you get a chance find a way to correct the gaps in the narration. It takes away a lot from this great documentary. I could think of a few ways to do it. If you don’t have the skill set find someone who does or UA-cam it. I look forward to seeing the next new and improved version of (bullhorns at the ready) “Conquest on the Hudson”. Love it.
i believe the narrator is speaking the truth when talks about the number of cars traveling through the holland tunnel looking at those cars from the 20s 30s that's all most a hundred years this film looks like it was made about 1930 something the sound quality appears to be fading with age in those days that camera was the newest technology available
Rumor has it there were machines that were big enough to do even smaller jobs that would have made a lot of the American slaves more resistant to death then they were😢😢😢
This came from a VHS tape that had the film on it. Due to the age of the film and soundtrack, as well as damaged/lost frames and/or audio transfer issues (whether it be from film to videotape, videotape to digital, or possibly both; maybe a corrupted audio file?), some parts of the audio portion are silent, while some parts of the video portion may freeze up (eg. the opening titles).
Whoever uploaded should have mentioned about the sound track or other issues to us re loss of audo 50/50% of the time and not go off and hide into obscurity!.
+Reggie Milla (Far Roc's Finest) What do you know about the selection of workers? Your comment suggests that you assume racial discrimination; however, I suspect you have no knowledge of who applied and what qualifications were required. That was dangerous work and many died in the process. Would you be happier if more had dark skin, or are you just taking an opportunity to whine and vilify? I suspect the latter. Here's an idea: Piss away the rest of your life trying to change the past. Many of us - grownups - will invest our time and effort learning about things like mutual respect and individual dignity, irrespective of skin color. While we're at it we'll appreciate the enormous effort and sacrifice of men and women of all human skin color in building, feeding and protecting this fine country. But you go on pissing and moaning; wallowing in victimhood - not cool.

My grandfather helped tile the tunnel. 88 years later his legacy lives on . Old Country Tile. CILIOTTA STRONG!!!
Looking for workers?
That is totally awesome!!!!
That's great!
@ 😂😂😂
@5:18 i have my great grandfathers medal for being in the compressed air union
I'm watching this as I sit in traffic on the Lincoln Tunnel at this very moment. Great engineering

Pussies now a days won’t go to work if they get their feelings hurt..

OSHA didn’t yet exist. Flirting with danger had been running rampant since they built the pyramids. Thank God for OSHA
Low pay to
I drove under that tunnel so many times. I have to watch thr video, thank you so much.
This is incredible! These men worked so hard!! It looks so dangerous and it is tedious work, an hour and half to inset one segment of each ring!! Ugh, God bless them
No and hour and a half to do each ring...not each 4 foot or so segment.
This was amazing and makes me feel proud about being an American. The birthplace of the Ford..Dodge..Chevy..and Chrysler. The beautiful minds of those that built this country.
You oughta see the film about how they built the subway in the first couple of years of the 20th Century. Makes this look like a making sand castles.
have to admit with the equipment they had back then was ancient...but the tunneling cutter was pretty neat....amazing stuff...thank you for posting this....
That's how much work went into building the Lincoln. Now I use it whenever I go to New York City. And before now I'd never given it a second thought.
Thank you.. I thought it was just me!🙂
My respect for that generation of hardworking Wao very strong 💪 and smart..!! In America we are the best..!!
That's some damn hard work
This was really interesting, too bad the audio keeps cutting out. Wish there were subtitles. Very amazing feat of engineering 1
That was awesome! Thanks for posting this gem!
just drove through it, had to see how its made, fantastic
Happy birthday Lincoln Tunnel. Center tube opened December 22, 1927 yaaaaay!!!
The center tube of the Lincoln Tunnel opened a decade later - December 22, 1937.
1927 was the Hollanf

WOW ....IS EXCELENTE VIDEO .
Un trabajo de alto riesgo .....!!!
Thank you great video
that tile wall is STILL there! Same light fixtures too, just changed lamp sources!
Great video. I wish the audio didn't keep cutting out.
Built in 3.5 years!! Today you couldn't get it engineered in 3.5 years.
This audio soundtrack has much to be desired. It keeps interrupting.
its from fucken 1930....
@@stevewill1940 Would have been interesting to hear all of the audio.

@@EddieLopez711 I was thinking the same..
Good thing they built the tunnel better than they did the AUDIO here. cool images.
They had that original story telling accent back in those times 😂😂😂😂😂
Actually the microphones were just bad
@@loopje No, there’s some other reason.....
This is a great film but sadly there are extremely annoying audio drop outs. Could the poster put it up again if your source material is good?
How cool is this awesome .a lot of people think the tunnel is in the water not under ground lol.
That's the way the Holland tunnel is constructed
Men that built this were God fearing men. Today it wouldn't be so.
Amazing video!
Beautiful video, wonder if anyone will get offended and have video removed.
this is awesome
@2:00 sounds like the music from the little rascals
Tube made from cast iron. How long before it rots out and leaks water?
Cool video!!!
That opening date for the LT's first tube was in 1937!

When men were real men
cool, how come we forgot how to do stuff like this?
I wonder what these men would think of modern tunnel boring machines.

Increíble pensar que pasé por ahí
Why build it under and not on top of it?
That you Bob Moses?
Historic
How come that first guy through the shields after meeting was Micky Rooney?
kudos
This would have been so much more interesting if the audio wasn't so messed up.
i was in the lincon tunell like añ hour ago
THE AUDIO CUTS IN & OUT
Amazing! Audio is bad though. I wish I could listen to all
What;s with the sound dropping out for 15 seconds twice a minute?
Too bad the sound on and off...otherwise an amazing documentary
Sucks the audio is screwed up.
May I ask who pvp is?
Are all the workers chosen over 55 and grossly overweight like the guy in the pressure chamber?
Dope fresh nation! PVP
It seems NYC has stopped building bridges and tunnels.
Because we don’t need anymore and plus nyc is broke af rn
And it was done without computers
16 bucks it cost to through it........that tunnel got paid off years ago. The port authority are a bunch of crooks.
What's up with the AUDIO?!

Not just you. Too bad, 'cause I love these old vids.

I didn't see any African Americans working on this project...Oh, Supreme Court had not ruled they were to be accepted as 5 fifths of a man.
Yes there were. The video showed Black men who were sandhogs coming through the tunnel.
