Few views of the Great East River Suspension Bridge capture its span across the water as fully as this bird's-eye perspective, which shows the crossing linking Manhattan and Brooklyn. John A. Roebling designed the bridge, and his son Washington Roebling oversaw much of its construction, with Washington's wife Emily playing a key role after he was disabled by illness. When it opened in 1883, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. Its granite towers and steel-wire cables still shape the skyline of lower Manhattan.
