During the construction of one of the East River Bridges in New York City, the engineers encountered the sunken hull of an old barge which would not yield to removal. It had become so securely embedded in the river mud that engines, cables, and derricks were powerless to remove it.

Send mighty cloud-bursts again and again
Strike holy lightning at home and

I am told that there was a rock on the North Sea,
just off the Firth of Tay, Scotland.
This rock proved very dangerous to many ships,
because when the high tide came in,
the rock was hidden just below the surface.
There was a warning bell attached to the rock
by the Abbot of Aberbrothok, so
