Sydney Harbour Bridge under construction

This image was taken from Walsh Bay wharves, looking east. Two arcs of the bridge can be seen under construction with cranes positioned at either ends. SS CANBERRA is passing underneath, viewed on the starboard quarter.

 

This photo is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s Samuel J. Hood Studio collection. Sam Hood (1872-1953) was a Sydney photographer with a passion for ships. His 60-year career spanned the romantic age of sail and two world wars. The photos in the collection were taken mainly in Sydney and Newcastle during the first half of the 20th century.
