Bosphorus Strait

This is called the First Bosphorus Bridge. Completed in 1973, it connected Asia and Europe for the first time. But Herodotus, the father of written history, reported that Emperor Darius built a 4,954 foot floating pontoon bridge in 510BC. Big boats...
Little boats...
...and every morning, these little fishing boats go out and catch their limit.
