Pedestrians on the pontoon bridge as it closes, 1937

The bridge of boats lies open across the Rhine, its loose sections moored to small steam tugs; slowly the tugs push them back into line against the current until the deck is whole again, and then pedestrians stream across between the railings. In long stretches of the Rhine there was still no fixed bridge in 1937, and bridges of boats and ferries carried the traffic from bank to bank.
