Description

At the time of its construction, the Forth Bridge was the largest bridge in the world, and to this day it remains a breathtaking monument to the vision and confidence of the Victorian age which created it. For seven years, thousands of men from all over Europe worked beneath the waters of the Forth and hundreds of feet in the sky on what was widely regarded as the eighth wonder of the modern world. Sheila Mackay vividly recounts the story of the bridge from its inception to the opening ceremony in 1890. Featuring more than a hundred archive photographs which detail every stage of the project, this book is a magnificent celebration of one of humankind’s most impressive engineering achievements.

  • One of the great engineering and construction marvels - every Civil Engineer should have a copy of this book
This is a book that every Civil Engineer should have a copy of in their reference library. Truly an amazing story of the construction of the bridge, and we are very lucky that the construction was so well documented with photographs, with photography still being fairly young at that point. Even looking at the photographs, it is hard to convey the scale of this monster bridge, and it is a wonder to think of the resources required to construct it, and the time frame in which it was built. It is also a testimony to the fortitude of those who built it, and the 57 men whose lives were lost during the construction. ... show more
