Descripción del artículo del vendedor

The Thames Tunnel, connecting Rotherhithe and Wapping, was a groundbreaking engineering feat designed by Marc Isambard Brunel and his son Isambard Kingdom Brunel. It was the first tunnel successfully constructed beneath a navigable river, built using Brunel's pioneering tunnelling shield technology. Construction began in 1825, but the project faced numerous challenges, including flooding, financial difficulties, and hazardous working conditions. One of the most dramatic incidents occurred in January 1827, when the Thames broke through into the tunnel, forcing workers to evacuate. Despite setbacks, the tunnel was eventually completed in 1843 and became a pedestrian walkway and later a railway tunnel. This contemporary article included the flooding of the Thames Tunnel, the engineering struggles and public reactions to the ambitious project. 12 pages. An authentic standalone article, extracted from a larger volume. Not a reprint or reproduction, but an original work in its own right. Preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 13 x 20 cms. Category: Annual Register; Cosmo Books : 29 years on ABE, 47 years taking care of customers. A bookseller you can rely on. Softcover (Booklet - Unbound Pages).
