The Tay Bridge: Its History And Construction is a comprehensive book written by Albert Grothe that delves into the history and construction of the Tay Bridge, a railway bridge that spanned the Firth of Tay in Scotland. The book provides a detailed account of the planning, design, and construction of the bridge, which was considered a marvel of engineering in its time. It also covers the tragic collapse of the bridge in 1879, which resulted in the loss of over 70 lives. The book explores the various theories surrounding the cause of the collapse, as well as the aftermath and impact it had on the engineering industry. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including contemporary reports, engineering journals, and personal accounts, to provide a comprehensive and engaging account of this important piece of engineering history. The Tay Bridge: Its History And Construction is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of engineering and the impact of technological innovation on society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
