They say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and beautiful isn't the first word that springs to mind, that would be... Black! As in, "Gosh! that's... um... well, its very <long pause> Black! Isn't it"

March 5, 1953- MARINE ANGEL starts thru Michigan Ave. bridge as it slips past the Wrigley Building and Tribune Tower.
The 600-foot-long, 70-foot-wide Marine Angel transited the Chicago River. The freighter had only seven inches of clearance on each side at Van Buren Street, and was the largest ship to ply the river.

Patrick Maynard Stuart Blackett, Baron Blackett OM CH FRS (18 November 1897 – 13 July 1974) was a British experimental physicist known for his work on cloud chambers, cosmic rays, and paleomagnetism, winning the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1948. In 1925 he became the first person to prove that radioactivity could cause the nuclear transmutation of one chemical element to another. He also made a major contribution in World War II advising on military strategy and developing operational research. His left-wing views saw an outlet in third world development and in influencing policy in the Labour Government of the 1960s

Note how the beams are 33m or less for the US and allies (and Italian). The German and Japanese are wider. The reason is the locks on the Panama Canal which are 110' wide, (33.5m). The Iowa was 108' (32.98m) - A tight fit, but it did fit...
