The Great Suspension Bridge, later known as the Brooklyn Bridge, is the subject here, seen from high above as the span stretches across the East River toward Manhattan and Brooklyn. Construction began in 1869 under the engineer John A. Roebling, and after his death his son Washington Roebling oversaw much of the work, which finished in 1883. At the time it was the longest suspension bridge in the world, and its steel cables and stone towers showed how far American engineering had come. The elevated view captures the scale of the structure against the crowded waterfront below.
