Richard Haw penned a cultural history of the Brooklyn Bridge, from the poetry of Walt Whitman to Fran Sinatra's It Happened in Brooklyn to Cher's Moonstruck to protests, postcards, and scores of pedestrians who show up each year to walk the bridge themselves or snap photos from choice vantage points in its shadow. In 1972, historian David McCullough spent a whole book chronicling the bridge's construction and design, while Ken Burns dedicated a 1981 documentary to the Brooklyn Bridge's history. Today, the Brooklyn Bridge is much more mellow to visit, and it's easy to see why it's remained one of the most recognizable, beloved structures in a city with no shortage of iconic architecture. Another tragedy came in June 1883, when the bridge opened to pedestrian traffic: a bottleneck of pedestrians, a woman falling on the stairs and some panicked cries set off a frenzied rush in which 12 people were trampled to death and dozens more were seriously injured. His wife, Emily, also blessed with mathematical and engineering gifts, oversaw construction in his stead. The younger Roebling himself suffered from the bends (decompression sickness) while helping to excavate the riverbed for the bridge’s western tower and remained bedridden within sight of the bridge for much of the project. © Museum of the City of New York/ Getty Images History Large ships and ferries sit in docks in the East River.
