Two things happened, THhe Orient-Express and The Brooklyn Bridge
The Orient-Express, The Orient-Express began
running between Paris and Constantinople in 1883, and covered France,
Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. It had been built by
the Belgian Georges Nagelmackers, whose company La Compagnie
Internationale des Wagons-Lits et des Grands Express Européens had
provided the carriages. Its fabled luxuries included Oriental rugs,
velvets, mahogany and fine cuisine. The original journeys were completed
by ferry across the southern Black Sea (from Varna to Constantinople).
Brooklyn Bridge, The Brooklyn Bridge is one of
the oldest suspension bridges in the United States. Connecting the New
York City boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River
and when it was opened in 1883 it was the largest suspension bridge in
the world and had taken 13 years to complete.
