    3:18 seconds into this movie I see my grandfather piloting one of the PBY planes flying over the bridge. It is the only film we have of him. He died a year later in an airplane accident off the coast of CA.

    I went there on October 2014, walking through this bridge was the best experience of my visit. I would love to go again just to go see and walk it!!

    My grandfather photographed the Golden Gate Bridge under construction during his visit to the US in 1936. I have the original negatives.
  • what a masterpiece the structure of the bridge must be very strong to have survived couple erthquakes
  • Rest in peace to the people who died while working on this magnificent bridge.
  • Super i love this ! The golden gate bridge is beautiful !!!
  • This is Great!!! One of the lead bikes is supposedly grandpa Charley, another Irish SF policeman at the time. Does anyone know which one he is? Was a proud day in America for sure...

    My great grandfather stanly, was one of the cops on the motorcycle in front of the presidents limousine of that time. He has pictures of it

    BRAVO America, you deserve to be the leader of the modern world, Bravo
  • see the kid riding his bike next to motorcycle cops? they didn't care or make a big deal about it. better times back then in san francisco. I have a original un-restored 1937 chevy pickup that still runs after over 75 years. they don't make cars or trucks like that anymore. I loved old s.f. the city is a sad shadow of what it used to be.
