Scope and content
ca. 1960. Serene view of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, taken close-up at sunset, 1960 Richards Studio stock footage. Spanning a mile, the graceful suspension bridge has provided a link between Tacoma and the Olympic Peninsula since October, 1950. It replaced the first Narrows Bridge, affectionately known as "Galloping Gertie," which tumbled into the water on November 7, 1940, only four months after its grand opening. TPL-9487
