The Brooklyn Bridge is a hybrid cable-stayed/suspension bridge in New York City and is one of the oldest bridges of either type in the United States. Completed in 1883, it connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River.
It has a main span of 1,595.5 feet (486.3 m), and was the first
steel-wire suspension bridge constructed. It was originally referred to
as the New York and Brooklyn Bridge and as the East River Bridge, but it was later dubbed the Brooklyn Bridge, a name coming from an earlier January 25, 1867, letter to the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle,
and formally so named by the city government in 1915. Since its
opening, it has become an icon of New York City, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964
The Staten Island Ferry is one of the last remaining vestiges of an
entire ferry system in New York City that transported people between
Manhattan and its future boroughs long before any bridges were built. In
Staten Island,
the northern shores were spiked in piers,
competing ferry operators braved the busy waters of New York harbor.
Today the Staten Island Ferry provides 22
million people a year (70,000 passengers a day not including weekend
days)
with ferry service between St. George on Staten
Island and Whitehall Street in lower Manhattan. The ferry is the only
non-vehicular mode of transportation between
Staten Island and Manhattan.
The Staten Island Ferry
is run by the City of New York for one pragmatic
reason: To transport Staten Islanders to and from Manhattan. Yet, the 5
mile, 25 minute ride also provides a majestic view of New York Harbor
and a no-hassle, even romantic, boat ride, for free! One guide book
calls it "One of the world's greatest (and
shortest) water voyages."
