Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silvery Tay North Fife

Here is a contemporary print that can be purchased.
Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silvery Tay North Fife. The book describes in great detail the events leading up to he Tay bridge disaster of 1879. The subsequent public Inquiry provides the answers to why the disaster occurred, which the author provides in the form of extracts from the main witnesses. The reinvestigation confirms their conclusions that the bridge was badly designed, built and maintained. The book concludes by examining the aftermath and modern disasters which show the importance of forensic methods in understanding them, and learning the lessons so as to prevent further accidents.
