The side-wheel steamer Island Queen on the way upriver in Cincinnati, passing under the Roebling suspension bridge in 1907. The bridge, started before the Civil War, was the longest in the world when it opened. It predates Roeblings better known structure, the Brooklyn Bridge. Cincys bridge was the only bridge not closed between Pittsburg and the Mississippi during the devastating 1937 flood, and is still in use today.
