The Floating Bridge... floated way
We fly over the Golden Horn now at very low altitude, a couple thousand feet I would think. You can see the remnants of the 4th Galata Bridge (The Floating Bridge).
The fourth Galata Bridge was built in 1912 by the German firm MAN AG for 350,000 gold liras. This floating bridge was 466 m long and 25 m wide. It is the bridge still familiar to many people today that was badly damaged in a fire in 1992 and towed up the Golden Horn to make way for the modern bridge now in use.
