" The
John
A.
Roebling
Suspension
Bridge
spans
the
Ohio
River
between
Cincinnati
,
Ohio
and
Covington
,
Kentucky
.
When
the
first
pedestrians
crossed
on
December
1
,
1866
,
it
was the
longest
suspension
bridge
in the
world
at
1
,
057
feet
(322
m)
main
span
.
Greene
Line
Steamers
was
established
in
1890
by
Captain
Gordon
C
.
Greene
and his
wife
,
Captain
Mary
Greene
.
Based
in
Cincinnati
, their
steamships
traveled
primarily
on the
Ohio
River
,
tranporting
freight
between
the
east
and
west
. In the
1920's
, as
railroads
took
over
most
freight
transport
,
Greene
Line
Steamers
survived
by
building
larger
and
more
modern
steamships
,
limiting
their
transport
to
shorter
trade
routes
, and by
pioneering
the
business
of
passenger
pleasure
cruises
. The
company
is
perhaps
most
notable
for
purchasing
the '
Delta
Queen
' in
1946
, the
last
original
and
operational
sternwheel
steamboat
that
is
a
U.S
.
National
Historic
Landmark
.
After
Tom
Greene
,
son
of
Gordon
C
.
Greene
,
died
unexpectedly
in
1950
,
Greene
Line
Steamers
came
under
hard
financial
times
and
eventually
folded
in
1958
