Aerial view of US Navy ships arriving for the Rose Festival in downtown Portland. Click to embiggenate.
We are looking north, sometime in the 1930's. The website claims 1935, but several commentators dispute that. The bridges in view are, from front to back, the second Morrison Bridge, the Burnside Bridge, and the Steel Bridge. All the buildings along the waterfront on the West side, where the Navy is moored, were torn down to make way for the Tom McCall Waterfront Park in the 1970's. Via Post Hip Scott. Map here.
P.S. 'Commenter' is not a real word, so all the people who commented on the original site have been upgraded to 'commentators'.
