EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1904, showcases an intriguing moment in the history of Rouen Transporter Bridge, as horse-drawn wagons make their way across the Seine River. The bridge, known as "le pont transbordeur" in French, is a transporter bridge, a unique type of bridge design that features a movable section carried by a vertical lifting mechanism. In this image, we see several horse-drawn wagons carefully navigating the narrow and steeply inclined nacelle of the bridge. The nacelle, a gondola-like structure, was designed to transport vehicles and passengers across the river. The horses, harnessed to the wagons, appear determined as they make their way up the incline, their efforts aided by the bridge's pulleys and cables. The Seine River, a major waterway in northern France, is known for its picturesque beauty and historical significance. The Rouen Transporter Bridge, completed in 1899, was a marvel of engineering at the time and a testament to the ingenuity of the late 19th century. It remained in operation until 1972, when it was replaced by a modern bascule bridge. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the bridge's innovative design and the daily life of the people who relied on it for transportation across the Seine. The image is a reminder of a time when horses and horse-drawn wagons were the primary means of transportation, and bridges like the Rouen Transporter Bridge were engineering marvels that connected communities and facilitated commerce and trade.
