There weren’t enough ferries, so they started building the 2,727-metre-long bridge, which is now one of the longest suspension bridges in the world. When the miners came to San Francisco during the gold rush, San Francisco harbour got the name “Golden Gate”, so the bridge was given this name too. First the engineer, the German American Joseph Strauss, wanted to paint the bridge grey.
