ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This bridge is an extremely rare and significant example of a Abt Bascule bridge, also sometimes referred to as an American Bridge bascule. The design was invented and patented by Hugo A. F. Abt who worked for the American Bridge Company. View The Original American Patent For The Abt Type Bascule Bridge Or View The Canadian Patent. The name Abt bascule comes from Hugo Abt's name, although some sources also turn Abt into an acronym, American Bridge Type, ABT. It is an extremely unusual and fascinating type of trunnion bascule bridge. The design is described in detail by Hugo A.F. Abt in 1921 in his original patent, which are on file in both the United States and Canada. The Port Huron Railroad Bridge appears to very closely follow the patented design, and it contains all the essential details claimed in the patent. There appear to have only been eight Abt bascule bridges ever built, and today only six remain nationwide including Port Huron's bridge. Little has been found about the details of Hugo A. F. Abt's life. He did hold a couple additional bascule bridge patents. View A Second Bascule Design Patent By Hugo Abt and a Third Bascule Design Patent.

Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Robert Hover, and I am a photographer, videographer, and creator. I am a 59-year-old leukemia survivor who drove trucks for 15 years, but after being diagnosed with leukemia and having a bone marrow transplant, I started pursuing my creative passion of photography. I love doing landscape photography and especially sunrise and sunsets, no two are ever the same. God paints a different one every time. I also enjoy waterdrop and lens ball photography. I enjoy exhibiting and selling my work at art galleries and printed on merchandise. Some of my photographic artwork is on display at Lake Huron Woods senior community in Fort Gratiot, Michigan. My creative gear consists of the following items: Nikon D3400 and D5500 digital cameras with 18-55mm and 70-300mm lenses. DJI Osmo Action camera. DJI Mavic Air 2 drone. Samsung S9 plus smartphone.
