Forth Rail Bridge over the Forth Estuary near Queensferry, Scotland (United Kingdom)

Knitting and riveting

pinning and weaving,

knitting and riveting

pinning and weaving,

building the girders out

over the water;

gangers in rivet-teams

sweating at furnaces,

wielding the rivet-tongs,

hammering plates in place,

hanging the arms

of the great cantilever...
