EDITORS COMMENTS
The Forth Bridge: Queensferry Pier, looking south, with lifting platforms soaring above 190 feet above high-water level, is an awe-inspiring sight that captures the engineering marvel and grandeur of this iconic structure. The Forth Bridge, located in Scotland, spans the Firth of Forth and connects the towns of North and South Queensferry. This photograph, taken from Queensferry Pier, offers a unique perspective of the bridge, with the lifting platforms appearing as if suspended in the sky. The Forth Bridge, completed in 1890, is a cantilever bridge with two railways and two roads, and it was the longest of its kind when it was built. The bridge's design and construction were groundbreaking, with the use of cantilevers allowing the bridge to be built from both ends, meeting in the middle. The lifting platforms were an essential part of the construction process, allowing workers to access the bridge's upper sections as it was being built. The image of the Forth Bridge with the lifting platforms in the foreground is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and workers who built this engineering masterpiece. The photograph also highlights the bridge's impressive height, with the lifting platforms towering above the high-water level, giving a sense of the vastness of the Firth of Forth. This photograph, taken in the early 20th century, is a reminder of the past and the incredible engineering achievements that have shaped our world. The Forth Bridge remains an iconic symbol of Scotland and a source of inspiration for generations to come.
