Point Ellice Bridge
The photographer travelled under the Point Ellice (Bay Street) Bridge.
In 1896, this was the site of a horrific accident when a streetcar
designed to carry 60 people was drastically overloaded with 142
passengers, collapsed under the weight. 55 people died in what still
stands as North America's worst streetcar incident.
