This pontoon bridge allows for transportation across the entrance of one of the biggest natural harbours.
Curacao boasts one of the largest deep-sea natural harbours in the world. Access to the ocean is through the narrow St. Anna Bay. Expansion in past centuries has resulted in Willemstad having grown on both sides of the Bay. To make transportation between these parts possible, a pontoon bridge was constructed in the 19th century. Now, besides its function as a bridge, it is also a major attraction for visitors to this town. The locals call it "the swinging old lady".
