Isn't it interesting that we (the royal American we) used to be proud of our viaducts!

We used to be proud of a great number of things.

Page 2, 3rd pic from bottom (I think) : I had no idea they had solar panels in those days !

I doubt it, but maybe it is like the old saying “nothing new under the sun”?

Post 18: Looks like we're looking east at Manhattan across the Hudson river from NJ, in/near Hoboken (Sinatra's birth. Or, should I say berth ?)
I was born/grew up in NYC and L.I. and remember seeing the barges and tugs in various places around the 5 boroughs .....
Also, If I have it right, it's Empire State Building before the massive antenna was installed..The pointy one in mid picture is the Chrysler building.
Tall one on left looks near the then working High Line and thus may be a New York Times building..Not there when I was growing up, that I remember seeing.

That's an interesting one Louis. Jogged another childhood memory. I remember, probably as about a 7 or 8 year old, a US destroyer? visiting Auckland NZ'ed's port and being open to the public, having a seaplane mounted up on a catapult above the deck. Pretty sure it was one of these Curtis SC1's Particularly remember the large float and the single attachment to the fuselage.

Would've been about the angle I was looking at it.

The one with the sword? That's what I carry to every game I attend.

... the Washington Senator's ...

I find that name offensive.

If you mean the one with the military style peaked hat, No! The one leaning against the railing.
