Scope and content
A boat passes under the raised 11th Street Bridge (now the Murray Morgan Bridge) on the City Waterway (now Thea Foss Waterway) in June, 1927. Dedicated in 1913, the $600,000 steel truss lift-span bridge provides a link between the downtown business district and the industrial Tideflats area. It was renamed for Mr. Morgan, perhaps the Northwest's foremost historian, in 1997; Mr. Morgan served as relief bridgetender in the 1940's. TPL-1426; G15.1-025b
