Description |
Photograph of the Queensferry cantilever at full height from north end of approach viaduct. By many this picture is considered the finest in the series, and in addition to its artistic merit, the gigantic proportions of the structure are presented in a manner that cannot fail to prove imposing. It was taken from a point about 100 feet above water level, and a little to left of centre line looking due north, thus permitting the verticals to show clear of each other. Inchgarvie superstructure is plainly visible through the wind bracing, as is also the whole of the island itself. At the time the photograph was taken the work was suspended, hence its exceptional clearness, and the general absence of workmen. The columns appear far in advance of the bracing, though the points it will strike are indicated by temporary stages or cross struts. A curious effect is produced by projecting end of box lifting girders, which have not been shortened since the lifting commenced. From top to bottom of this picture, each plate can be seen distinctly, and though the point of selection was over 600 feet from the columns, the rivet heads can for the most part be counted. As a general picture this view is to be highly recommended, as the particular effect can never be reproduced in the future owing to the nature of the design.
