The Greatest Capital Raiser of all time.


Sir Marc Brunel. Built the tunnel under the Thames, in London,

and held a silver and crystal service dinner, deep in the earth, under the river,

to convince investors how safe and practical his tunnel was,

and that they should part with their money to fund the completion of the tunnel.

Invented/created the first ever "caisson".


In geotechnical engineering, a caisson (/ˈkeɪsən/ or /ˈkeɪsɒn/) is a watertight retaining structure used, for example, to work on the foundations of a bridge pier, for the construction of a concrete dam, or for the repair of ships.
