Introduction

The Brooklyn Bridge, one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States, was built in 1883 and serves as an important connection between Manhattan and Brooklyn. It is also one of the most iconic landmarks in New York City. With a length of 1,834 meters and a height of 41 meters above water, the bridge is supported by thousands of steel cables and was the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time of its construction. It is considered one of the seven wonders of the modern world for its technological innovation during the industrial revolution. To commemorate its centennial anniversary, the United States issued a 20-cent commemorative stamp featuring the bridge's grandeur and style. In addition, modern American poet Hart Crane wrote a long poem titled "The Bridge" about the Brooklyn Bridge.
