Description
Aerial views of the American Bridge Company industrial facility on the Delaware River in Trenton, New Jersey. The company was formed In 1900 when the JP Morgan & Company undertook a consolidation of the bridge construction industry in the United States. This merger of 27 companies commanded 90 percent of the bridge building market in the U.S. Eventually, the American Bridge Company became a subsidiary of the U.S. Steel Corporation. The views show the facility from several angles. Railroad tracks and ships servicing the facility can be seen, as can adjacent residential areas.
