This is reportedly a different bridge in San Pedro? 1912-1955/8

This is the West Basin Bascule Draw Bridge. A few years after this picture was taken the draw bridge was raised to let a ship pass through. For some unknown reason a ship rammed the side where the Bridge was hinged. It was never lowered again until years later when it was cut up for scrap

July 14, 1953
