Synopsis
Today’s the day work begins on the Golden Gate Bridge.
Men and steel and concrete
square off against
fog and wind
and pounding surf
to build the world’s
longest suspension bridge
across the wild,
surging waters
where the ocean
meets the bay.
Impossible, people say.
Never been done.
You cross your fingers and hope.
Built across a treacherous strait during the Great Depression, the Golden Gate Bridge was an unprecedented, awe-inspiring feat and truly a testament to the power of hope, perseverance, and human ingenuity to defy the odds.
