The Forth Bridge : A Picture History Paperback / softback
by Sheila MacKay
Paperback / softback
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.
