Tugs open a pontoon bridge for a barge, 1937

Below wooded hills in the haze, a bridge of boats runs across the Rhine; a section has been floated out of line, and small steam tugs, funnels pouring smoke, hold it against the current while a long, low barge noses through the opening, the water glittering in the sun. Koblenz had crossed the river on such a bridge of boats since 1819, and it had to be opened many times a day for the shipping.
