Image shows the view northeast from Lower Manhattan over the Brooklyn Bridge and the East River during the celebrations for the grand opening of the bridge, May 24, 1883. The festivities include fireworks as well as hundreds of watercraft of all kinds encompassing everything from sailboats to paddle wheel steamboats, schooners, and skiffs. At the time the bridge, designed by John Roebling, was the world's longest at 5,989 feet. President Chester A. Arthur attended the opening ceremonies. (Photo by Hulton Archive/Getty Images)
