Cincinnati - Sawyer Point: The Showboat Majestic and The Taylor South Gate Bridge
Made by wallyg
Built in 1923, Majestic is one of two showboats to survive, the other being Goldenrod. Perhaps the most extraordinary American adaptation of barges, more than 50 showboats carried circuses and dramatic productions to large and small towns on the rivers of America between 1831 and the 1920s. The Taylor-Southgate Bridge is a continuous truss bridge that was built in 1995. It has a main span of 850 feet, and a total span of 1850 feet. It connects Newport, KY and Cincinnati, OH. It crosses the Ohio River, and is currently in use. Many regard this bridge, which was a replacement of the Central Bridge, as a little too plain in its design for a major urban bridge, especially considering many cities today are opting for a more elegant design, such as a cable stayed bridge. The Bridge is named for the famlies of James Taylor Jr. and Richard Southgate, two important early settlers of Newport. Richard was the father of William Wright Southgate, a pre Civil War Congressman from Northern Kentucky. Majestic Showboat National Register #80003085
