I particularly noticed the sabots holding round shot in #22, and the dents in the side of the turret of the Monitor, #36, presumably the result of incoming cannon-fire. I bet it made a hell of a clang for those on the inside! +1! |

Is there a similar site for the UK not for that civil war but something like the coming of the railways in the UK around that time?, suppose if I googoled enough;!.. -- Tony Sayer |

Is there a similar site for the UK not for that civil war but something like the coming of the railways in the UK around that time?, suppose if I googoled enough;!.. -- Tony Sayer The nearest English equivalent are Roger Fenton's photographs of the Crimean War taken 8 years earlier. The photo quality was good because they used full plate cameras mounted on tripods with good lenses. The plates had to be developed wet straight out of the camera so they had to use portable darkrooms mounted on small carriages or carts. http://www.allworldwars.com/Crimean-...nton-1855.html Both wars will have been covered primarily for newspapapers - not for the actual photographs but for engravings based on the photographs. There was probably no similar incentive to cover the building of the railways although there are plenty of photos of company directors and engineers posing along with the workers. Although most pictures of Brunel seem to be of the Great Eastern. michael adams .... |
