Brooklyn Bridge: a bridge connecting Brooklyn with Manhattan. Suspension bridge built (1869-83) over the East River to link Brooklyn to Manhattan island.

In 1869 John was killed in one of at least 27 fatal construction accidents; his son saw the project to completion. The bridge's main span of 1,595 ft (486 m) was the longest in the world to date.
