Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 125 years ago, barely a year and a half after the Tay Railway Bridge was built, William McGonnagal composed his poem about the Tay Bridge Disaster, the poem about Britain's worst-ever civil engineering disaster. Over 80 people lost their lives in the fall of the Tay Bridge, but how did it happen? The accident reports say that high wind and poor construction were to blame, but Peter Lewis, an Open University engineering professor, tells the real story of how the bridge so spectacularly collapsed in December 1879.

Download or read book William McGonagall written by Chris Hunt and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2011-06-14 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William McGonagall was born in Edinburgh in 1830. His father was a poor hand-loom weaver, and his work took his family to Glasgow, then to Dundee. William attended school for eighteen months before the age of seven, and received no further formal education. Later, as a mill worker, he used to read books in the evening, taking great interest in Shakespeare's plays. In 1877, McGonagall suddenly discovered himself 'to be a poet'. Since then, thousands of people the world over have enjoyed the verse of Scotland's alternative national poet. This volume brings together the three famous collections – Poetic Gems, More Poetic Gems and Last Poetic Gems, and also includes an introduction by Chris Hunt, the webmaster of the McGonagall website www.mcgonagall-online.org.uk, indexes of poem titles and first lines, and features the first publication of McGonagall's only play, Jack o' the Cudgel, written in 1886 but not performed publicly until 2002.
Book Synopsis The Fall of the Tay Bridge by : David Swinfen
Download or read book The Fall of the Tay Bridge written by David Swinfen and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It took 600 men six years to build, and was one of the longest bridges in the world. On its completion in 1878, famous visitors, including the Emperor of Brazil, Prince Leopold of the Belgians and Queen Victoria herself, came to pay homage to this marvel of Victorian engineering. Then, on the night of 28 December 1879, the unthinkable happened. Battered by an apocalyptic storm, the thirteen 'high girders' of the rail bridge over the Tay estuary fell headlong into the river below, carrying with them a train with all its passengers and crew. There were no survivors. What caused the fall of the Tay Bridge, and who was really to blame? Returning to the subject since the first edition of The Fall of the Tay Bridge in 1994, David Swinfen has meticulously analysed new evidence and now presents a solution to the riddle which has perplexed historians and engineers for generations: what really brought the bridge down?

Download or read book Dundee written by Graham Ogilvy and published by Mainstream Publishing Company. This book was released on 1999 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a dozen writers have contributed to this journey into the past, present, and future of the city of Dundee, seeking to capture the pioneering spirit of its inhabitants. In every sphere, including science, medicine, industry, art, commerce, sport, music, politics, and social reform, Dundee has played a role. Among the figures uncovered in the work are Preston Watson, the Scottish aviation pioneer; Thomas Maclagan, the Dundee doctor who discovered aspirin; James Chalmers, the inventor of the adhesive postage stamp; and James Bowman Lindsay, the pioneer of electric light. But between the stories of cutting-edge medicine and avant-garde art, the authors have not forgotten enlightening and humorous stories about the city's maverick characters and irreverent aspects of Dundee life, both past and present.
