Brooklyn Bridge is the centerpiece here, its granite towers and web of cables rising over the water of the harbor. Completed in 1883 after roughly 14 years of construction under the direction of John A. Roebling and later his son Washington Roebling, the bridge was then the longest suspension span in the world and linked Manhattan with Brooklyn for the first time. Its presence in a harbor view signals the growing city that surrounded Ellis Island, which processed millions of immigrants arriving by ship in the decades that followed.
