Custodial history
Scope and content
This mounted photo shows the collapse of the Point Ellice Bridge because of an overfilled streetcar on its way to festivities for the celebration of Queen Victoria’s 76th Birthday and people in different boats rushing to assist with a crowd forming on the remainder of the bridge to watch. The annotation on the back gives the date of Tuesday May 26th 1896 and the name and address of Mrs A Haggart. The board did break so there is a bend in the photograph in the portion of the photo that is the sky.
