Morgan Curran
Morgan, 57, is the "walking boss" on the swing shift at the Croton Filtration Tunnel job. Morgan was born and raised in Connemara, a rugged area of western Ireland where Irish is still spoken by many people. He left school after 6th grade and began working full time in construction. At 16, he began his career as a miner in London, and moved to the Bronx three years later, where he got his first taste of New York's tunnels. Morgan's reputation as a tunnel worker grew over the next four decades, on jobs from Baltimore to Boston. He returned to New York in 2005, as a foreman sinking a 600 shaft for Water Tunnel #3. He's been a boss on the Croton job since 2007. Morgan is known as one of the best miners in Local 147, and there's not a job in a tunnel that he can't do. His particular specialty is blasting and working with dynamite, and he's known as one of the best blasters in America.
