Cable Cables California Engineering Francisco Miles Oakland Section Seventy Suspension Thousand Trilby Wire
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the history of engineering marvel, the Golden Gate Bridge, in San Francisco, California, USA. Circa 1935, this image showcases a section of the suspension cable used in the construction of the iconic bridge. The bridge, which spans the Golden Gate Strait, connecting San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean, is an engineering feat that required an astonishing 70,000 miles of wire. The men in this photograph, dressed in coats and trilby hats, are hard at work, carefully handling the intricate cables that would eventually support the weight of the bridge's massive suspension towers. The image transports us back to the 1930s, a time when the Golden Gate Bridge was undergoing construction, and the West Coast of America was on the cusp of a new era. The Golden Gate Bridge, which opened to the public in 1937, is an enduring symbol of American ingenuity and resilience. It has stood the test of time, withstanding the relentless forces of nature, including earthquakes and high winds, and continues to be a source of inspiration for generations. This photograph is a testament to the human spirit, the dedication of the workers, and the vision of the engineers who brought this magnificent structure to life.
