our entrance into the mill was through a porthole
Created: May 4, 2009 Taken From: The Deer Head at Carrie Furnace Snapped By: Tim Kaulen (tkaulen) Comments: none - add a comment Total Views: 423 j. small re-opened the porthole to enter and exit the mill. here he is taking a few visitors back to their car. the porthole that we used was originally an extension to the 'topland' made possible by the cult of the mole people, who inhabited the ground beneathe the mill through the 1960's. the cult of the mole people were drawn to this area because of the warmth created by the mill and access to the fourth river that begins near the glenwood bridge. it is speculated that the disappearance of the World War 2 bomber that crashed into the mongahelia is linked to the cult of the mole people. thanks again joe for re-opening the pothole! |

Bessemer Converter
Created: December 12, 2007 Taken From: Monongahela River and Station Square Snapped By: ron baraff (riversofsteel) Comments: none - add a comment Total Views: 225 From A.M. Beyers Co. in Ambridge. The Bessemer process, patented by Henry Bessemer in 1856, converted iron into steel. The egg-shaped converter was tilted down to pour molten pig iron in through the top, then swung back to a vertical position and a blast of air was blown through the base of the converter in a dramatic ‘blow’. Spectacular but dangerous flames and fountains shot out of the top of the converter. The converter was tilted again and the newly made steel was teemed or poured out. The process revolutionized the industry worldwide by allowing for mass production of steel and ushered in the second industrial revolution - giving rise to industrial growth in Pittsburgh. http://www.banklands.com/images/Workington No 2 Bessemer vessel.jpg |

gigagigagiga..Pan!
Created: May 3, 2009 Taken From: The Deer Head at Carrie Furnace Snapped By: liz Hammond (liz hammond) Comments: none - add a comment Total Views: 215 I found this strange character while I was looking for a close up of a church on the hill. I wanted to tell a story about building the deer head in the summertime. The churches on the hill would open their windows and hymns of the congregation would roll down the hill and fill the valley with song while we worked....but maybe it was Pan's flute...i dunno now... lol |
