Newscopy: "San Francisco, California...The Golden Gate Bridge, spanning the Golden Gate straits, the entrance to San Francisco bay, is the longest single span in the world, being 4,200 feet long from pier to pier - just 360 yards short of being one mile in length. The bridge connects San Francisco with the northern California counties (Redwood Empire). The bridge is nearing completion and will be opened May 1937. The above air view of the bridge was taken from the Presidio, San Francisco, and shows the famous old Fort Point in the foreground. Fort Point was the main battery protecting San Francisco in the early days.".
