    Far more impressive IMO! I actually thought the Golden Gate bridge was pretty boring, to be honest...

    Also USS Missouri > USS Iowa IMO.

          Yep, that is my link and it links to what I say it does here in the UK...

          Hey, tell you what, instead of being a douche and calling me a liar, why not have some imagination and consider the alternative explanation that perhaps it gets 'lost in translation' between accessing the link from the UK and US sides of Google...? Clearly it would explain why "in post #32 I started prattling on about a cantilever bridge".
          Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

            It wouldn't surprise me if the UK Google was lying, because the UK is full of LIARS like MOBIUS.

              This thread is a testament to the pathetic sadness of once upon time greatness totally trashed by the incompetence of following generations.

                Sadly, nothing but on Treasure Island, which has one of the best views of the bridge, the city, and the headlands there is a great little cafe which has some extremely inventive sandwiches which are to die for. Just FYI.

                Well, Technically it's on Yerba Buena Island right by the picnic area but ever since they built the land bridge the two islands have really been one island.

                  Take your chill pills gribs...

                  As I said, there was a perfectly reasonable explanation to your claims (because I have decided to believe you), but if you want to be a dick about it, go right ahead because I don't need to lie to put you in your place...

                  In fact, I don't need to do anything at all apparently...

                    First major steel cantilever (still 2nd longest in the world!) railway bridge in the world and first railway bridge with a steel superstructure. Also was the world’s longest spanning bridge at the time of its construction. Way more impressive looking than the GGB!

                    So, in the space of 47 years, the Golden Gate bridge could only manage a measly extra 685ft!?
                    Sod that, look at the Humber Bridge

                        Yes, Hull sucks, but even it has a better bridge than the Golden Gate Bridge...
