The Ambassador Bridge

Oversize color photographic postcard showing the north one-half of the Ambassador Bridge as seen from a dock that is located downstream of the bridge. The view shows people fishing from the dock and downtown buildings are visible in the background. Several railroad car ferries and steamships can be seen on the Detroit River.
Printed on verso: The Ambassador Bridge. The World's longest international suspension bridge, linking Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Almost two miles long, it has five traffic lanes and an 8 ft. sidewalk for pedestrians. Detroit, in addition to being the 'World's Motor Capital,' also ranks as the second port in tonnage volume in the United States. The Detroit River is one of the world's busiest waterways. Fishermen enjoy the ever fascinating river panorama.
