| East Toledo Historical Society posted Freighter William A Reiss attempting to maneuver straight into the channel and the middle of the Cherry St. bridge opening. The boat was loaded with coal from the T&OC docks (where the Dock's Are today) and needed help from 2 tugs to straighten it's self out. |
The steamer Yuma allided with a span in 1908 and destroyed that span. That is why the 1914 bridge was built.
 |
| BridgeHunter-1884 has several more images of the allision. |
Five of the spans from the 1884 bridge were used to build the 1909-1957 Ash-Consaul Bridge.

David Huskins posted four postcard images. But I'm not comfortable with the Terms of Use. The group is public, so hopefully clicking the "posted" link works for you.

| East Toledo Historical Society posted The construction of the third Cherry St. bridge 1914. the bridge was built in side by side sections, one side at a time in order to better maintain traffic. [Note the falsework under the concrete arches.] |
Historic Bridges explains that the bridge was built with a Scherzer designed rolling span. But a major rehabilitation in 2002 replaced that span. It appears that the new span is a trunnion bridge. Thanks to the popularity of postcards at the interesting change of century, we have images of the rolling spans. (Postcards were the "selfies" of their day.) In fact, we have a comparison of colorized images. As usual, the clouds confirm that these were colorized by different artists.

Lee White, is threading the needle on staying away from the ice on the Maumee River as it departs downtown Toledo. This was around 7:30am this [Jan 24, 2022] morning. Susan Wenner shared |
