There is a story about the Melrose Suspension Bridge, which spans the Niagara River in New York and links Canada with the United States.
It is said that the bridge was built in this way: a kite was flown across the river; attached to the kite was a piece of string; attached to the string was a rope, and to the rope was attached a steel cable. The steel cable was then used to get the rest of the bridge in place.
The story of the Melrose Bridge is often used to illustrate how great things often have humble beginnings.
