Was not sure where to post this but have to think any science geek would love them
This is on Netflix now and highly recommended - every story is informative, dramatic and well executed

Hubiris, intrigue, heartbreak and failures so colossal they bankrupt a nation and stories of courage and tenacity to make your heart soar. The Brooklyn Bridge segment was all new info to me.
One that I particularly enjoyed was this tale and it was also completely fresh story.
watch or read this or both

at the turn of the 17th Century you task yourself to build this...on a tiny rock only exposed for 4 hours a day, only accessible 2 months of the year off the wild coast of Scotland. That rock gets covered in up to 16' of water with the violent tides....and all by hand.
Quite a tale.
- all are interesting and a nice length - given no commercials.
