Whit?? Come on guys and gals, the one for 1879?? Surely everyone knows this happened on the last sabbath day of 1879.....
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_Bridge_disaster
The poem is by far the most famous ever written by McGonagall, and is still widely quoted. It begins:
"Beautiful railway bridge of the silv'ry Tay
Alas! I am very sorry to say
That ninety lives have been taken away
On the last sabbath day of 1879
Which will be remember'd for a very long time."
And it ends:
"Oh! Ill-fated bridge of the silv'ry Tay,
I now must conclude my lay
By telling the world fearlessly without the least dismay,
That your central girders would not have given way,
At least many sensible men do say,
Had they been supported on each side with buttresses
At least many sensible men confesses,
For the stronger we our houses do build,
The less chance we have of being killed."

Also for 1879.........:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Rorke's_Drift
'A little over 150 British and colonial troops successfully defended the garrison against an intense assault by 3,000 to 4,000 Zulu warriors. The massive but piecemeal[9] Zulu attacks on Rorke's Drift came very close to defeating the tiny garrison but were ultimately repelled. Eleven Victoria Crosses were awarded to the defenders, along with a number of other decorations and honours.'
And this came of it:
