Questionable
I removed this from the article,"and is considered a prototype of the cable-stayed bridge of which a very similar design by the Germans was completed, the Stroemsund Bridge in Sweden. Similar bridges include a timber-stayed bridge designed in Germany in 1784, the wrought-iron stayed Albert Bridge in London designed in 1873, and the Chow Chow Bridge in Grays Harbor County." because, even though it has reliable references it is demonstrably false. There are many much older examples of cable stayed bridges, e.g. the 1818 Dryburgh Abbey Bridge, the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge, the 1890 Barton Creek Bridge, the 1891 Bluff Dale Suspension Bridge. I am looking for better information. In the meantime I thought it best to move this here. Leaving it in the article might mislead readers. If you have a reliable source that can resolve these contradictions please use it to do so.

I found this reference Title: Historical Development of Cable-Stayed Bridges Authors: Podolny, W; Fleming, J F   Journal of the Structural Division Volume: 98 Issue Number: st9 Pagination: 2079-95 PROC PAPER 9201 Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers but have not been able, yet, to get a copy of the text.
