26 Delaware Aqueduct
At a cost of $41,750 and completed in time for the 1849 boating season it was an engineering marvel. With its 8 ½ inch spun wire cables, each containing 2,150 wire strands, it could hold 1,900 tons of water weight (dead load)!! Today it survives as the oldest standing wire cable suspension bridge in the western hemisphere and, quite possibly, the world.
