Caption: "Thames River Bridge, New London, Connecticut. Where Harvard and Yale Hold their Annual Rowing Regatta, Sept. 4, 1934." View of two bridges over the Thames River near New London, Connecticut. The drawbridge in the foreground was originally a railroad bridge, built in the late nineteenth century. Later, as automobiles grew in popularity, this bridge was converted to use by vehicles (cars can be seen driving over it in this photograph), and a second bridge was constructed for railroad use (a locomotive can be seen behind the two cars). Neither of these bridges survives today, having been replaced by the Gold Star Memorial Bridge.

Caption: "12 Inch Sea Coast Gun," c. 1908-1912. Group of men operating or maintaining a 12-inch disappearing gun. Retracting or disappearing guns were a form of artillery developed in the nineteenth century in which heavy artillery guns were placed on rotating carriages that allowed retraction of the weapon after firing, to enable reloading while under enemy fire. Such guns were often used in coastal fortifications.
