Title
Forth Bridge - Queensferry cantilever from end of Hawes Pier
Description
Photograph of the Queensferry cantilever from end of Hawes Pier. In this picture we have one differing from any of the preceding. As its title denotes, the principal feature in it is the cantilever itself, together with the masonry pier on which its south arm is to rest. The progress of the work as illustrated by this picture compared with similar preceding views is striking, for here we have No. 1 struts more than half completed and the internal viaduct already leaving the cantilever far behind. The rectangular staging growing up between the bottom members is to carry a crane in such a position as to command the first joint thereof. The foreground is chiefly occupied by temporary staging, details of which will amply repay attention. Transcription from: Philip Phillips, 'The Forth Railway Bridge', Edinburgh, 1890.
