Freighter in Cleveland harbor   Save
Ohio Guide Photographs
Description: Original description reads: "Cuyahoga river traffic from foot of St. Clair Avenue. This is an oil burning diesel freighter. Not many of these are seen in Cleveland and then usually at the package freight dock at 9 street. Most ships coming into Cleveland port are the traditional coal burning freighters. Bridge in photo is Main Avenue bridge." The Main Ave. (Harold H. Burton Memorial) Bridge, in its current state, opened October 6, 1939. The 6 lane bridge is Ohio's longest elevated structure at 8,000ft. Earlier bridges of varying sophistication have connected the East and West shores of the Cuyahoga River in this location since the mid-1800s. View on Ohio Memory.
