The barque Monongahela is towed out of Lake Union in Seattle just before the final span of the Aurora bridge is completed in 1932. The new bridge replaced the previous drawbridge and allowed (most) ships to pass under to the harbour through the Lake Washington ship canal.
The ship, built in 1892 by Barclay Curle in Scotland, was lost in December, 1943 after breaking her tow and running aground at Porcher Island, BC.
