    World's Smallest Drawbridge

    Located between Elys Harbour and the Great Sound in Bermuda, this
    bridge is the smallest drawbridge in the world, just wide enough for a
    boat mast to pass through. Obliging passers-by and motorists open the
    central plank, only 22 inches wide, by hand to permit the mast of a
    sailboat to pass through.

    Too bad that after 15 years none of the links work any more.

    I wonder if the bridge is still there.
