Brooklyn Bridge, John A. Roebling built this Sixth Street Bridge in
1859. Known for years as his most graceful work, it was replace in
1892 by a Theodore Cooper span. The latter in 1927 was floated
downriver on the Ohio, where it still links [has since been dismantled] 
Coraopolis with Neville Island." (J & L Steel Corporation.)
