Caisson
The Milwaukee Caisson stands in about 150 feet of water, rising up to roughly 100 feet below the surface as a massive, unfinished structure. Its open interior reveals a striking network of steel beams, offering a rare look inside large-scale industrial construction. Unlike traditional wrecks, the caisson feels more like a suspended moment in time—an unusual and thought-provoking dive defined by scale, symmetry, and mystery.
