The Washington Bridge is one of the city's great unknown bridges. The AIA Guide even considers it superior to the George Washington. Wired NY has the only decent photos of it on the Web:

I love those three bridges: the Washington and the two others that look like it.

The High Bridge is significantly different, and the Hamilton is perhaps the city's most hideously undistinguished bridge.

True, but there is a resemblance in the main arch.

Hamilton, with Washington behind.


High Bridge with the other two behind

Circle Line to upgrade boats, inks promo deals


Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises is spending up to $15 million to upgrade three of its eight vessels over the next year.

It also signed partnerships with radio station WPLJ 95.5 and the Daily News.

Every Thursday starting in June, a DJ from the station will be on board one of the boats for an entertainment cruise.

Daily News readers who clip three Circle Line ads from the paper will be eligible in July for 65% discounts on all of the company's tours.
