EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1916, showcases the majestic State Street Bascule Bridge in Chicago Harbour being lifted to allow the passage of an excursion steamer. The bridge, a marvel of engineering, is a bascule bridge, characterized by its unique design that resembles a seesaw or a V-shaped leaf. The bridge's intricate mechanism is on full display as it tilts and lifts, providing a clear path for the steamer to navigate through. The harbor, bustling with activity, is a hive of transportation and commerce. The waterfront teems with ships of various sizes and shapes, each with their own stories to tell. The Chicago skyline, in the background, is a testament to the city's industrial might and architectural grandeur. The excursion steamer, with its grandeur and elegance, adds to the scene's charm. The passengers on board, many of them likely dressed in their Sunday best, are no doubt excited for their day out on the water. The steamer's paddlewheel churns the water, creating ripples that dance in the sunlight. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the world was being connected through waterways, and the simple pleasure of an excursion steamer ride was a cherished experience. The bridge, the harbor, and the steamer all come together in perfect harmony, creating a scene that is as timeless as it is captivating.
