Comments on: The tail end of the Havelock Turn is barely off the bridge, and the bridgetenders are already at work opening the bridge for marine traffic.

Interesting. when I was there a couple years later I’m sure it was operated by someone off the bridge. Did they change the mechanism?

Well done Paul. A rare look at the Job of a Bridgetender.

Thanks for posting this one. About 45 years ago the bridge tenders let my brother and I help close the span.
