They built a brick wall around the site first, pumped all water out, built the foundation and then removed the wall.

But they'd need to pump water to build the first brick wall! I guess it's just one of nature's mysteries

FIRST CAMPAIGN 1907

We put at the disposal of the conductor of the works - it was then M Le Corvaisier, from 1910 it was M Crouton - a steamer which anchored in the small port of Argenton and a crew comprising sailors, masons and maneuvers, all experienced seafarers.

Using soundings, they checked the homogeneity of the granite, realized that the north-south fault was very superficial, drilled the first sealing holes, punctured the slippery surfaces; arranged, in the eddies of the tide and the ebb, rungs for docking with two small derricks.

Forty-three dockings made it possible to complete the reconnaissance of the rock and the surroundings for the best anchorage, to carry out preparatory work and to execute, in addition, 61 m3 of foundation masonry

YEAR 1908

Despite the sea state, which remained very unfavourable, 139 m3 were built. The foundation platform was thus complete except to the west, a portion which required very favorable tides.

Also, it looks like this on the inside:

The ones in cars are loud too, they're just mounted externally, I think some are accessible from the engine bay only, not through the dash.

Ship ones are probably accessible from the inside and ship bridges probably don't have sound deadening built into the design like the passenger compartment of a car.

I've been outside of a car with the wipers going and the thin piece of plastic keeping water off the wiper motor doesn't provide enough sound deadening to explain why that ship's wipers sound like putting a tape into a lovely VCR.

It should have gone flank speed to swim deeper, like the tallest ships do at the Øresund bridge.
