The Brooklyn Bridge
...the most completely satisfying structure of any kind...
Lewis Mumford
A monument to man's ingenuity and creativity, this world famous steel suspension bridge was designed by architect John Roebling between 1867 and 1883. Many lives were lost constructing the first "hotlink" between Brooklyn and Manhattan.
The bridge's renowned double-arched towers were set firmly into the East River's bedrock while the unprecedented use of steel cables allowed for future bridges to span great distances.

But the Brooklyn Bridge remains an original - like most NYC residents.

On the Manhattan side, you can get some great views of this majestic bridge from the top of Pier 17 at the South Street Seaport.

That's the Manhattan Bridge behind it!

Grab a seat and rest those tired tourist feet!

From Brooklyn, Pier 1 at the Fulton Ferry landing provides a beautiful sunset view of the bridge and downtown Manhattan.
Let's take a walk on the bridge!
