The sight of this landmark instantly identifies NYC. It is
the city's oldest bridge and is today a major tourist attraction.
Designed by the brilliant engineer and German immigrant John
Augustus Roebling, the Brooklyn Bridge is full of stories of
personal tragedy. Roebling's dream was completed by his son,
as the father died during bridge construction. When finished
in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge was the longest suspension bridge
in the world. Today it is still an inspiration for many artists,
and a great place for a Sunday walk or bike ride. |
