The Bridges of the Cape Cod Canal

The Cape Cod Canal is a shortcut from Boston to New York City, avoiding the dangerous shoals off Nantucket which are littered with shipwrecks. Built in 1910, the canal is crossed by 3 bridges: the Sagamore, the Bourne road bridges, and a rail lift bridge. They were all built between 1933 and 1935 during the widening of the canal and are all beautiful steel structures.
