An entertaining look at just what happened when London Bridge was sold and shipped to America in 1968. How was the 130 year old bridge transported 3000 miles, and why did multimillionaire Robert P. McCulloch buy it?
In 1968 the world's largest antique went to America. But how do you transport a 130-year-old bridge 3,000 miles? And why did Robert P McCulloch, a multimillionaire oil baron and chainsaw-manufacturing king, buy it? Why did he ship it to a waterless patch of the Arizonan desert? Did he even get the right bridge?
