On 5 August 1775 Juan de Ayala and the crew of his ship San Carlos became the first Europeans known to have passed through the Golden Gate strait, anchoring in a cove behind Angel Island, the cove now named in Ayala’s honor.

When this mighty “international orange” structure was first built, it was the longest and tallest suspension bridge in the world. Construction of the bridge, which spans the Golden Gate strait, began in 1933 and proved to be a tumultuous exercise. Eleven people met their deaths during the erection of the landmark, which saw workers brave great heights over swirling currents. Courageous workers are pictured here in 1935, standing on a catwalk as they attach cables from the bridge.
