"Plan For A Suspension Pier Or Jetty At Madras" presents a detailed engineering proposal for the construction of a suspension pier or jetty in Madras. Authored by John Henry Taylor, who commanded the Trafalgar, this document offers valuable insights into 19th-century civil engineering and maritime infrastructure planning. It explores the technical considerations and design specifications necessary for building a robust and functional pier capable of withstanding the coastal conditions of Madras. The text is of interest to students and professionals in civil engineering, maritime studies, and architectural history, as well as those studying the historical development of Madras's port infrastructure. This work provides a window into the engineering challenges and innovative solutions of its time, offering a blend of historical context and technical detail.
