WALK THE MAJESTIC BROOKLYN BRIDGE

Enjoy a 45 minute stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge and learn how one of the eighth Wonders of the New World tied together the great cities of New York and Brooklyn. Gaze up at its Gothic granite towers and web of steel cables. Hear the story of John Roebling, the brilliant engineer who designed the bridge but died before a single stone could be set. Picture the determination as Washington Roebling, along with his loyal wife Emily, finish building the bridge. Learn about the immigrant laborers toiling in the hellish caissons beneath the East River.

Take pictures and memories you will never forget, of the New York Harbor, South Street Seaport, Governors Island, The East River and The Brooklyn Navy Yard. Become inspired by some poetic performances of Hart Crane's epic poem, To Brooklyn Bridge, as well as Walt Whitman's Crossing Brooklyn Ferry.
