Produktinformationen zu „Tay Bridge Disaster (ePub)“
One hundred and thirty-five years after the event, the Tay Bridge Disaster remains the single most catastrophic collapse of a British engineering structure. The fateful day in 1879 shood Britain and the world of engineeering to their core and sent a nation into mourning for the seventy-five souls lost to the dark, freezing waters of the Tay River. Here Lumley give the collapse a much wider perspective than the event of one night by delving into the lives of those lost to the disaster, both passengers and railway workers, against a background of a wider Scottish history. Packed full of personal tales and with more technical appendices for those that wish to further their technical knowledge, Tay Bridge Disaster is a must read for anyone interested in this poignant event of Scottish and British history.
Autoren-Porträt von Robin Lumley
ROBIN LUMLEY is best known as a record producer and keyboardist member of bands with Phil Collins, David Bowie and Roy Wood, amongst many others. However, he has long been an avid railway and military history fan, as well as a railway modeller who has contributed regularly to magazines on that subject in the UK and Australia. This is his first full-length book, inspired by the fact that his great-grandfather missed being on the ill-fated train by a hair's breadth.
