This postcard shows an unusual perspective of the Québec Bridge during its construction. The bridge’s central span had not yet been placed. Yet, when the latter was lifted, instead of joining the north and south spans, it fell, sinking straight into the St. Lawrence River! This was the second collapse during the bridge’s construction. Treize travailleurs meurent dans cet accident.
