Photo from "Spanning Time and Tide" (Reiter) p. 24 with caption underneath reads: "Construction of Jervois Bridge, believed to have been photographed by Capt Samuel Sweet about November, 1877. Note the "donkey engine" at left and the diver seated on the railway track which is nearing completion. Henry Parker, Supt. of Works, is the white-hatted gentleman seated at right. This view, looking towards St Vincent Street, shows the massive smokestack of the English and Australian Copper Company, used as a navigation aid by mariners until it's demolition in 1909. Photo: Mortlock Library of SA." (G Brooks)|Title on Microfiche incorrectly reads "Reconstruction of a Wharf". Re-titled to reflect G Brooks' notes.
