Hoover Dam - 1986


View from the left bank power station downstream. The Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression and was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over one hundred lives. Originally known as Boulder Dam from 1933, it was officially renamed Hoover Dam for President Herbert Hoover later.

Splendid view
Many thanks also for the interesting information, Berny
Ich weiss noch, wie ich den Guide damals enttäuschen musste, als er erzählte, das sei die höchste Staumauer der Welt. Damals war das noch die Staumauer von Grand Dixence in der Schweiz, mit 285 m Höhe. Inzwischen sind wir wohl von drei, vier chinesischen Mauern übertrumpft worden. ;-)
