Lesson 17 The longest suspension bridge in the world
Verrazano,an Italian about whom little is known, sailed into New York Harbour in1524 and named it Angouleme.Hede scribed it as averya greeable situation located within two small hills in the midst of which flowed a great river.' Though Verrazano is by no means considered to be agreat explorer,his name will probably remain immortal, for on November21st,1964,the longest suspension bridgein the world was named after him. The Verraza no Bridge, which was designed by Othmar Ammann, joins Brooklyn to Staten Island. It has a span of 4,260 feet. The bridge is so long that the shape of the earth had to be taken into account by its designer.
