Notes

Abstract:
Pigeon Key trestle. Bands of steel and concrete bridge the gap between Miami and Key West. The gap has been covered by ferries such as this since the 1935 storm swept away much of the Overseas railroad. The 32.5 miles of highway is being constructed at a cost of $3,600,000 to link the mainland again with the southernmost city in the United States. October 5, 1937. -- original caption. Probably not shot at Pigeon Key. Until the Overseas Highway opened in 1938, this ferry plied the gap, delivering passengers to Key West. ( en )
