  • A great vid with many great photos I haven't seen before. Good job!. To me the most impressive of all of these feats, even though it is the smallest, is the Bell Rock lighthouse. To believe that you could build a 200ft? tower on a piece of rock 11 miles out at sea, that is only exposed for 2 hours every day, and then swept by waves the rest of the time, is nothing short of genius. And the fact that it still stands after 200 years. Can you redo this as the amazing music does not come through?

  • The Bell rock light house has been there for over 200 years and has never needed a single brick replacing, 11 miles out to sea and it took 6 years to build. makes me proud to be Scottish and i see it out my window everyday.

  • Anybody want to buy a controlling interest in THE Brooklyn Bridge?

    I've got a Golden Guild certificate from B-Madeoff which says I-own it.

    I'm open to offers for outright sale or a part exchange for a controlling interest in the remaining parts of the US Constitution as long as you throw in Jersey City & Santa Monica plus a low rent lease on the Hawaiian Islands.

    Please reply to Pastor B Hinn c\o "I'M NOT RELATED TO BERNIE" Post Office Box 666 Trump Towers New York.

    (Shush, here comes the guard)

  • Understood, video maker. I was being harsh since I can't even produce a video of my own. LOL

  • The video maker is in serious need of spelling lessons.

  • @leegenix As I have said so often before, this video was created when I was a great deal younger; at a time when we were still learning about proof reading and still doing spelling lists.

  • Wow, look at the Great Eastern and then take a look at the Queen Mary II. Amazing.

  • ...and now it's 2011 and the UK and USA are 'ruled' by greenie-weenie communists & post WW2-NAZIs...who have all but put to cease the industrial invention, progress and employment once held by these two great nations. REMOVE these politposers -and- ALL their poisoned influences! Then restore the prosperity...

  • This video contains multiple typographic errors. It should be remade with the errors corrected.

  • Only 48 likes!? well here'a another one.

    Thanks for that imformatal video.

  • So, what about a Transiberian RailRoad??! It's almost 10 000 km long.

  • @raver7000k As I have said before, this is paying tribute to the Enginnering feats in the hit BBC series and the Transsiberian railroad wasn't in it.

  • 3:33

  • Brillant video. I loved it and learned a lot. Thanks for that!

  • very very brilliant engineers!

  • dont yo know which music is used in episode Lighthouse Bellrock. Thanks. m

  • The sound comes up garbled on my Computer (not sure why) but the Video is beautifully made.

    May i ask the name of the two Soundtracks used?

  • @TSR1989FF Thank you very much, I m glad to know people apprecieate it :) There is nothing wrong with you computer, it's just the quality of the music...only version I could get my hands on. The name of the tracks are Trailblazing and Goliath composed by Steve Jablonsky

  • @SSPoseidon846 Well it took me a while but i chased up those names (been meaning to for ages) & after a few minutes trawling i found ideal examples of both,

    thanks my friend i couldn't have done it without your help.

    Along with "Pyrrhic Spirit" these are old favourites of mine, just like this BBC series was/is.

  • u fool u misspeled COLORADO I live in COLORADO so I know if a fool like u misspels it !!! it's spanish for colerful  i'm sorry if I made u mad but u made me prity mad by misspeling the state that I was born and raised in!

  • @j241865 How about you don't have a rant at me for spelling errors while you clearly have difficulty yourself.

  • @SSPoseidon846 ok i got a litle carryd away but i'v lived in colorado all my life no ones perfact + 2 things in this vid are american but the rest are british so bolth countrys build great marvals of enginering but the us did built the first steamboat in 1787 by james rumsey so if it wasn't for him brunel never would have built his great ships and it was a british man who built the first electriciy producing dam ever so our minds inspired yours and yours inspired ours so lets bary the hachit

  • @j241865 I keep hearing how the industrial revolution started here in the UK, so in that sense the world has to lot to thank the Uk for!

  • @bivvyfox true but their is a lot the world should thank the us 4 like the steamboat, electricity, radio, the fluresent light bulb, the movie camra, the feris wheel, the airplane, the telagraph, the computer, google, youtube, etc but ther r things the world thanks the british 4 steam trains the industrial revolution, brunel, the popularity of the steam engine (wich was built in eygpt 2000 years ago by heron) etc every country has inveted something that changed the world one way or many ways :)

  • @j241865 Even what you mention is British! And we invented more besides. William Gilbert first invented the term electricity in 1600, and in 1821 Faraday invented the electric motor. While many people think that Thomas Edison created the light bulb, it was invented in 1879 by Joseph Swan. Later, Edison took Joseph Swan's ideas and made them into a different idea to create the longer lasting light bulb.

  • @bivvyfox but electricity was just a party trick static electricity ben franklen knew it was greater then a trick and he proved it he invented batterys 2 store it and yes thomas edison didn't invent the light bulb but edison perfected it the first ones onley lasted a few minuts but an edison bulb last 4 a 100 years with out being turned off once and nikola tesla was far greater mind tesla ivented so many things & edison was jelus of tesla its true but like rumsey tesla was forgotton :(

  • @j241865 with respect the steam engine was invented in Britain. I think that took a lot more genius than the idea to use such an engine to power a ship. Powering a ship with such an engine was bound to happen fairly soon, indeed their were battles over patents for it as several claimed to have invented it around the same time! One thing for sure Americans will sniff out where the money is, not so much the innovation though.

  • @bivvyfox every one knows the steam engine was invented by heron of alexandria eygpt back when it was under greek rule 2000 years ago but with the materials and tools of the time it wasnt a big succes but it was forgotten then centurys later it it reappered in britan as a water pump & JAMES RUMSEY did build the FIRST STEAMBOAT in the US in1787 thomas jefferson thought that rumsey was the best mecanical genius he had ever seen washington thought the same ther r vids of rumsey's boat on youtube:)

  • @j241865 come on! that was nothing more than a rotating ball 2000 years ago. The real steam engine was invented and developed by British engineers. Thomas Savery, Thomas Newcomen, James Watt. Entirely British! And yes you may have powered a ship with it first , but Isombard soon showed how that was done :) I am certain they had never even heard of this simple ball "exec toy" of 2000 years ago.... :) It's like saying Da Vinchi invented the airplane and not the Wright brothers ;)

  • @bivvyfox true but heron also built automatic doors that were steam powerd but that "exec toy" was a start plus rumsey's steamboat didn't have paddle wheels or a prop it was "jet propelled" u need 2 c the rumseyan experiment video on youtube 2 get a good understanding of how it worked and u misspelt isambard the man is my hero and robert fulton prefected the engine brunel just changed how it works & used it on the ss g.w. he used old ideas & perfected them but what ever thomas edison did it 2 ;)

  • @j241865 true, edison did take old ideas and perfect them, just like isambard, but nothing wrong with that. all played a part, without edison trying many combinations we would not have had a bulb so early. A question I ask now is, can we use this inspiration to create something today? I have some ideas myself, need to put them to investors etc.

  • @bivvyfox i agree i don't really like giving edison credit 4 anything becuase of the way he treated nikola tesla who was a far greater mind he invented radio, the incondesent motor, radio control the floresent light bulb ac power 4 electricity etc edison was jelus of tesla for the 1893 worlds fair tesla got the job 2 do the electrisity 4 but edison wouldn't let tesla use his incondesent bulbs so tesla invented a gas bulb that plugs in but tesla was forgotton after what he did 4 the world :(

  • @j241865

    It's Colouraido not Kolorraddo.

    Dumbfuck.

  • @callmeshane303 exuse me but i have never spelled the name of the state i was born and raised in and have lived in all my life with a "k" or the rest of this igrorence you accuse me of and also you misspelled it there has never ben an "i" or "u" in COLORADO NOT NOW NOT EVER!! & what do you know about the proper spelling of the 38th state in the nation when all you do is make stupid prank phone calls and not do any research on such things so google it if you don't beleave me

  • @j241865

    Yes you do.

  • good video thanks

  • I'm trying to find out what the sound track is called doe's any one know.

  • Sensational video. What is the music? Would you like to have me narrate it? Dennis

  • nice work putting this together my friend,thankyou very much for sharing it with us :) :)

  • Comment removed

  • Cool!

  • The transcontinental railroad was the least impressive of all those industrial wonders. Building the Panama Canal or the Great Eastern were quite unlike anything ever before. As for the Hoover dam. No doubt an impressive feat and a huge building project, but by the 1930's the technology already existed to make huge skyscrapers and huge machines were available too.

  • @sprocketman1998 yeaaaa, you're right he did. still great though. although i wouldn't mind watching the original series. how long is that thing anyways? 7 hours im guessing, 1 hour per building/boat.

  • @Jezthevalley yehh around 50 mins per ep

  • @Jezthevalley Yeh, around that time. It's a great series

  • I have saw this on tv and have the DVDs. This is a great example of what the series was like. We really have a lot to thank the Victorians for - I wonder how many people who cross the Brooklyn bridge every day actually appreciate the work that went into building it and the number of lives tragically lost - not many I bet. For those who enjoyed this vid, get hold of the DVDs if you can.

  • and here i thought i was watching the seven wonders of the industrial world. lol

    didn't this was also a religion debate forum.

    anyways, did you make this video? i like it.

  • @Jezthevalley I certainley did make the video

  • This is awesome and I thank you for posting it. I like the soundtrack but it comes across a bit scratchy. Can you email it to me in a excellent format?

  • Hoobver Dam was genius

  • thanks for the video man. amazing. awe inspiring. feel like i missed out on the excitment of the industrial revolution!

  • farout - the music sounds like it comes from the same era the Great Eastern did.

  • the great east stream turbine ship compared to ancient the Boat of Noah.....I do see that the ancient one is much more magnificent compared to the tech at their times!!!

  • @melbourneopera With only the Problem, that the Boat of Noah never existed...

  • That's ur opinion but i believe Noah's Ark did exist as would billions of others as i'am/we are christian.

  • @SSPoseidon846 Noah's Ark????? hilarious. What, did he then get a jet plane to Australia and collect all the marsupials and then take them all back again after the flood?

    Did Noah go to the Gallapagos islands and gather all those different unique species of finch? And then take them back again?

    Only a REAL moron could think this was true.

  • @ryko26 Only a TRUE BELIEVER would understand. God would have provided all the animals in the world. it's part of the bible.

    only a TOTAL CUNT like yourseld would have the indecency to question someones beliefs and call them a moron for it.

  • @SSPoseidon846 I must have missed that bit in your hilarious bible "And lo, Jesus said that anyone who thought that load of old myth about an Ark carrying all the animals was comically ignorant was a TOTAL CUNT"

    Is that in Luke or Mark?

    How very Christian of you (and I mean no sarcasm by that).

  • @ryko26 look, i cab see i'm not gonna get anywhere with a cock muncher like yourself. you stick to what you believ and i will stick to what i believe

  • @ryko26 changing the texts written in the bible is a mortal sin

    and i'm pretty sure im smarter then you

  • @ryko26 no you are the hopeless twat...u have a lower IQ then a goldfish.

    you obviously don't know when ti give up.

    i'm entitled to my opinion and so are you but there is no need for bigotry

  • or jewish, hindu and islamic people to possibly

  • Steam turbine?? To early my friend she had thumpers or reciprocating steam engines even Titanic only had one turbine the other two were reciprocaters.

  • Anyone know what the music is to this series?

  • the two songs in this video are called trailblazing and goliath composed by steve jablonsky

  • Es increible lo que el ingenio humano y el trabajo en equipo logran hacer ! Ojala que estas capacidades sirvan mas para construir que para destruir a los semejantes.

  • For UK viewers, this has had several repeats on digital TV history channel "Yesterday",and I wouldn't be surprised to see it again in the future.

    And why not?

    It's a fine documentary series,and makes engineering look cool.

  • BRILLIANT POST, any chance of changing that spelling mistake,in respect these magnificent wonders of the world and these amazing men,SMALL MISTAKES COST LIVES

  • I doubt it. the video has had so many views and if i were to take it down a repost it, I would lose all the progress I've made.

  • 4,54

    what is AIFTER

  • It's called an accidental spelling error.

  • Thanks Tsenomaximov for sharing. Such amazing feats of Engineering. I didn't see the Documentary but seems fascinating.

  • I watched the episodes about the Bell Rock Light House, The Transcontinental, The London Sewers and the Hoover Dam 2-3 years ago. I was truly impressed. Undertakings both epic and constructive -- we should have more such documentaries. The music provides fantastic background.

  • i wish it would come bak on tv

  • Really it can't. If they were to bring it back, the BBC would be renouncing the original 7 wonders.

  • i loved the series

  • This was a fantastic program. Bell Rock Lighthouse was sensational and I loved the part with the Transcontinental Railroad when East met West. Great Video!

  • whats the music called? and were did you find it?

  • The music songs are called Goliath and Trailblazing and they are composed bye Steve Jablonsky, the songs were emailed to me.

  • thanks.

  • what about THE FORTH RAIL BRIDGE??? i think your list is very wrong somewwhere!!!

  • The Forth Rail Bridge wasn't in the television series, hence why it is not in my video. You obviously never saw the seven part programme.

  • Would any of these be built now? Sadly I doubt it.

    The greatest thing about the victorians was that they didn't care about "preserving" either history or scenery.

    Imagine trying to build a railway in britain today, the heritage "industry" and nimbys would stop even a mile being laid.

  • The Bell Rock Lighthous is still up and being used after almost 200 years, so is the Hoover Dam, the Transcontinental Railroad, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Panama Canal and the London Sewers.

  • such work it took to do this video I really think it deserves 5 stars.

    keep on making excellent videos like this you ought do start work in documentaries or something similar,I am actually serious

  • thanks...this is the edited version, the original runs for 19 minutes.

  • fantastic just reading the book for the second time my favourites are the bell rock and the grreat eastern,my local pub was called the great eastern it had a picture of a steam engine outside it untill we pointed out the great eastern was a ship the brewery made a new sign

  • Great music, I managed to get hold of most of the Seven wonders of the industrial soundtrack awhile ago in mp3 format is awesome!

  • it's a shame you couldn't get a lceaner recording, but this was a beautifully done compilation. 5*

  • Great video, very interesting! 5 stars

  • Aww where did you get the music from? Ive been after the mjusic from the series for ever!!!

  • I Acutally could not find it also so I recorded it.

  • wot's da name of da song?

  • They are actually 2 songs combined together and repeated to last the length of the video. The first song is called "Trailblazing" and the second is called "Goliath". Both are compised by

    Steve Jablonsky.

  • bravo!

  • very nice video i like your videos only good videos :) and i like ships you to i think make more videos i want see them :)
