Harbor Spanned Verrazano Bridge Nears Final Shape
Harbor Spanned Verrazano Bridge Nears Final Shape
"As it nears completion, the Verrazano Bridge spanning the Narrows at the mouth of the Port of New York again becomes the subject for your newsreel's daredevil cameraman. And he produces a spine-tingling report by matching the courage of the workers on bare wind-whipped girders, hundreds of feet above the water. A thriller garnished by some masterful shots of the massive Queen Elizabeth passing under the bridge, outward bound for England." Nice high angle LS bridge from top of one of the suspension towers. TLS/LSs construction workers working on bridge, cranes hoisting & lowering heavy objects. MS worker welding lattice-work. Nice depth of field LS lower level of bridge under construction. MS brave worker wearing hard hat balancing, walking along suspension tower. View from top of tower, smoggy skyline of downtown New York City in distance. H/a LSs Queen Elizabeth luxury liner passing beneath bridge, sailing away. MSs men working with steel suspension wires. H/a LS Linea Fassio freighter passing beneath bridge. Nice extreme h/a MSs man painting girders (another delicate balancing act). Nice tilting h/a TLS bridge construction (shot from suspension tower).
