brücke

She was the sister ship of the famous commerce raider SMS Emden. While the Emden still had traditional triple-expansion engines, the Dresden was the first German cruiser to be equipped with the new Parsons turbines. She's one of the famous WWI ships involved in The Battle of the Falklands, surviving only because of her unique engines en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_Dresden_(1907)

Thanks for the information about the history of the ship, Kilted Cowboy. We'll add it to the record the next time we update it.

Very interesting comments and nice photo. Uqbar Editores published this year "Señales del Dresden" (in Spanish), a historical novel that through its narrative shows the Chilean adventure of the SMS Dresden in the Patagonia fiords. www.antartica.cl/antartica/servlet/LibroServlet?action=fi...

This is Ôhashi atake no yûdachi (大橋あたけの夕立). Different museums translate the title differently, but it's Ôhashi Bridge, not Shin-Ohashi, and Atake, not Ataker. Nothing ends in "r" in Japanese. This print is one of a series of 100 Famous Places in Edo (名所江戸百景, Meisho Edo hyakkei) done by Hiroshige. The series title can be seen in the red cartouche at the top right, with the title of this print in the yellow cartouche next to it, and the artist's signature at bottom left.

This is great! The bridge looks so close to this today, makes me miss living in Sydney.

Except the trains have been shunted off the side because of how many cars there are.

I love exploring our history, I recently assisted my daughter with a project on the building of the Sydney Harb Bridge and whilst I didn't have access at the time to this site I had the pleasure of locating various photo's which I saved and reprinted via a USB and a Store, my daughter intends keeping her "A" mark for this assignment, the pics make it so realistic as though you were there taking pics

Its interesting that there appears to be train lines on both sides of the bridge where these days the line is only one side.

Great stuff State Library. There were trains on that side (as they still are today) and I think trams ran on the opposite side where cars now drive.
