The New Haven Line of Steamers (Classic Reprint) by E. F. De Young PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from The New Haven Line of Steamers Leaving behind us the never ceasing hum of busy life on shore, the brain racking rattle of the great Metropolis. We can now look forward with a sense of pleasure to the charming sail we are about to take upon the waters of Long Island Sound, combined as it is with speed, safety. And comfort. We are soon gliding swiftly under the great span of the Brooklyn Suspension Bridge, the connecting link of the two leading cities New York and Brooklyn. Te are filled withadmiration as we gaze upon this immense structure, with its heavy cables suspended high above from which hangs a. Complete net work of thousands of wire strands, and we think What fitting monuments those huge, lofty stone piers are to the engineering skill and the busy hand of the workingman that reared them. The height of span above mean high water at the centre is 135 feet and at' the piers 119 feet. It was built at a cost of fifteen million dollars. There is a broad promenade in the centre on each side of which run the cable cars under a couple of minutes headway. Outside of the cable road - ou each side, there is a wide roadway for carriages and teams.' A trip across the bridge surprises one by its magnitude, while the view of the surrounding country is one of grandeur.
