John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 12 Jan 1924:
THE SEA WALL
WORK STARTS ON MONDAY
GREAT OUTLAY ON PLANT
LABOUR-SAVING EQUIPMENT
For more years than most Wellington folk can reckon up from memory, the agitation for a commencement of the Thorndon sea wall rose and fell as a question of public—civic, harbour, and State—importance; six or seven months ago the tender of Mr. C. F. Pulley, probably the best-known harbour constructional engineer in the Dominion, for the carrying out of the work at a price of £181,794 15s [$22.5M today] was accepted, and on Monday morning the first actual concrete work upon the wall will be commenced.…
In all, the wall is expected to eat tip 62,000 cubic yards [47.4K m3] of concrete, it will reach out for 3429 feet [1,045 m] across to Kaiwarra, and may be three years in the building. On Monday morning the wheels start to turn, and the first batches of concrete will pour down to the two great anchor forms already in place where the old wall ceases.

Itamar MedeirosGiven the cast and the visual effects-packed trailer, @apple has spared little expense on it. The clip shows a future #Manhattan protected by #SeaWalls and the technology that allows humans to "thrive" in a world wracked by #ClimateChange. https://www.engadget.com/every-actor-on-our-ruined-planet-will-star-in-apple-tvs-extrapolations-162616337.html?src=rss
