Description
Photograph of Bascule Bridge opening over the Los Angeles Harbor with boat passing under, July 30, 1929. A paved platform extends over the water at right and leads to the opening bridge to the left of center. The right half of the bridge is tilted upwards while steel beams form a tangle of triangles that allow the bridge to work. A steam boat to the left moves through the water immediately after passing under the bridge.
