1 | Golden Gate : Building the Mighty Bridge | Elizabeth Partridge |
Today’s the day work begins on the Golden Gate Bridge. Men and steel and concrete square off against fog and wind and pounding surf to build the world’s longest suspension bridge across the wild, surging waters where the ocean meets the bay. Impossible, people say. Never been done. You cross your fingers and hope. Built across a treacherous strait during the Great Depression, the Golden Gate Bridge was an unprecedented, awe-inspiring feat and truly a testament to the power of hope, perseverance, and human ingenuity to defy the odds. |
