VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

1938 - N Williams Ave. & NE Russell St. - Portland Oregon

 

1954 - SE 17th Ave. & SE Powell Blvd. - Portland Oregon

 

This ferry ran between Newport News, Virginia and Norfolk, Virginia in early to late 50’s. Before the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel (HRBT) opened in 1957. The water it crossed was main inlet waterway to largest naval base in the world, Norfolk Naval Station. As a young kid that ferry building was one of few things that stuck in my mind all these years, IIRC this was on Newport News side at very south end of Jefferson Ave.

Just a little trivia for any interested.

 

1 forklift on each side lets pick it up.
