Supposedly it was quite a marvel at the time of its construction..........



The construction of the Brooklyn Bridge is detailed in the 1972 book The Great Bridge by David McCullough^[19] and Brooklyn Bridge (1981), the first PBS documentary film ever made by Ken Burns.^[24] Burns drew heavily on McCullough's book for the film and used him as narrator.^[25] It is also described in Seven Wonders of the Industrial World, a BBC docudrama series with accompanying book.
