Vincent Thomas Bridge from USS Iowa

When we were in Los Angeles last summer I visited the battleship USS Iowa, which is now open to the public. I'll be posting photos from this over the next few weeks, but I'm starting with one of the Vincent Thomas Bridge, taken from the deck of the famous battleship.
The USS Iowa is now moored in the busy port of Los Angeles where massive container ships are constantly being loaded and unloaded.

    «Louis» is delighted to see the Iowa again!
    He got these photos of her at Richmond Harbor just before she was towed to Los Angeles.

    «Louis» also thanks you for linking to Sunday Bridges.
