The Tay Bridge disaster.
[England? : s.n.,
1880?]
Dated from internal evidence - On the night of 28 December 1879, the Tay Railway Bridge collapsed in high winds while a train was crossing it . All seventy-five people on board the train were killed.
First line reads: In this gay and festive season, / We must deplore the loss of life, / Human-beings endowed with reason, / Bent on pleasure, not on strife, / Suddenly life is taken away from them, / In a moment they are swept away, / Death has swiftly come upon them, / At the railway bridge on the River Tay.
Air: - The battle.
