Title
Aberdeen Harbour plans by John Smeaton
Description
This plate of two coloured plans was included in the book <i>The reports by Smeaton, Rennie, and Telford, upon the Harbour of Aberdeen. Printed and circulated by order of the Harbour Trustees</i> (Aberdeen: G. Cornwall, Herald Office, 1834). This volume contains two reports by Smeaton, dated 19th February 1770 and 22nd March 1799, respectively, plus a letter by him concerning the Harbour from the same date as the 2nd report. The two plans are titled <i>Plan of the Harbour of Aberdeen as it was in 1769</i> and <i>Plan of the Harbour with its Alterations, as proposed 1787 by J. Smeaton</i>. Different versions of these plans can be found reproduced in the earlier book <i>Reports of the late John Smeaton, F.R.S. made on various occasions, in the course of his employment as a civil engineer</i>, volume III, (London, 1812). These other versions are also available to view on this website. Smeaton, along with John Rennie and Thomas Telford, was a key engineer in the development of the modern harbour of Aberdeen. Smeaton's most crucial improvement was the construction of the North Pier, completed in around 1780. A copy of <i>The reports by Smeaton, Rennie, and Telford, upon the Harbour of Aberdeen. Printed and circulated by order of the Harbour Trustees</i> (1834) is held by Aberdeen City Libraries in our Local Studies reserve stock.
