Brooklyn Bridge (32)

I finished A Picture History of the Brooklyn Bridge by Mary J. Shapiro. It was interesting.. many of the construction techniques are the same as the Mackinac Bridge. I was surprised that when they completed the cat walks for the cable spinning.. that they opened them to the public.. something that would never happen in this day and age. The final picture of the book was from 1983 aprox 100 years after it opened.. It was taken from Brooklyn looking toward Manhattan.. and there very prominately on the skyline is the World Trade Center.
