Photograph of the aftermath of the Second Narrows Bridge being hit by the"Losmar" pictured on the right. Soon after being built in 1925, the Second Narrows Bridge was hit countless times by ships at the bascule portion installed at the south end of the bridge (unfortunately installed in a shallow water area to avoid building expensive towers and a lift span). Each time it was hit the bridge was out of commission until it was repaired. The Second Narrows Bridge runs over Burrard Inlet and connects Vancouver to North Vancouver.

Photograph of the aftermath of the Second Narrows Bridge being hit by a ship. The span girder is tipped into water on the left side of the photograph and the other girder is broken and in upright position. There is a large ship in the front with letters "CALMAR LINE" written on the side along with several tug boats. Soon after being built in 1925, the Second Narrows Bridge was hit countless times by ships at the bascule portion installed at the south end of the bridge (unfortunately installed in a shallow water area to avoid building expensive towers and a lift span). Each time it was hit the bridge was out of commission until it was repaired. The Second Narrows Bridge runs over Burrard Inlet and connects Vancouver to North Vancouver.

History
Photograph was taken on April 8 2020 for Taylor Park Elementary School Car Parade. Taylor Park staff with cars gathered at school and then drove through the neighbourhood. The principal Hal Wall organized this because he and his staff want to express their appreciation to parents trying to work from home while teaching their children. He also wanted to have a safe way to say hello and reconnect with students as well as celebrate our community all while maintaining a safe social distance at the height of uncertainty and change of the COVID-19 pandemic.
