Description
Annotation translation: "When the soldiers occupied Honyen in 1923 they built two such pontoon bridges over the East River and the so-called Little River, so that if danger threatened they could quickly disappear. These pontoon bridges are opened, more or less in the middle of the channel, if a ship wants to go past." Annotation: "Zur Zeit der Soldatenbesetzung von Honyen im Jahre 1923 liessen die Soldaten 2 solcher Schiffsbrücken über den Ostfluss & den sog. kleinen Fluss schlagen, um bei drohender Gefahr sich schneller & besser aus dem Staub machen zu können. Diese Schiffsbrücken werden, wenn Schiffe durchfahren wollen, an einer Stelle (etwa i.d. Mitte) geöffnet, damit die Frachtschiffe passieren können."
