		The Tasman of course was hit by a tanker in 1975, and as a young lad, the newspapers pictures were emblazoned on my nascent cultural awareness: two cars hanging precariously over the edge (five had already fallen into the water).

		Me son-in-law came and got me and said, 'The bridge's fallen down!' I saw two cars hanging over the edge; one was a two-door GTS Monaro and there was a one-armed bloke in the back of it (I read that in the papers).

	Hobart Bridge Statistics
		Following the completion of the floating arch bridge in 1943 the growth of population on the Eastern bank of the River Derwent was rapid; by 1955 the bridge was unable to carry the number of vehicles required to use it without extreme congestion.
		In addition after careful examination of the floating part of the arch bridge following a serious storm from the south, it was decided the life of this bridge in its present position was limited.
		In early November 1970, one of the moored half-arches of the Hobart Bridge sank in Geilston Bay.
