1883 is another historic year in United States history, for it witnessed the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge. One of the great engineering feats of the late 19th century was the building of the Brooklyn Bridge. The success of the venture was, in large measure, due to the Roebling brothers who made the gigantic cables that held up the roadway. One of them died in the construction work. Some time after it was opened in 1883, someone on the span suddenly shouted that it was falling and several persons were killed in the wild panic that followed.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,100.
