The original bridge which connected Northport and Tuscaloosa over the Black Warrior River was built starting in December 1881 opening on Christmas Day, 1882. It was built by the King Bridge Company of Cleveland, Ohio and was in use until 1896. At the time it was one of four steel and iron spans over the Black Warrior River in the Tuscaloosa area. The U.S. government required a new bridge - a draw-span bridge - be built to accomodate river traffic. Th 1882 bridge was dismantled and each span was relocated to various locations in Tuscaloosa County for use as single-span bridges. In 2008, the Friends of Historic Northport began the process of removing the only surviving span, securing necessary funds for this project, and seeking a location in Northport for it to be reconstructed as a historic structure. In 2010, a group of Van de Graaff family descendents, who owned the property which was once part of the Jemison plantation on Robert Cardinal Road, gave the property to the Friends of Historic Northport to be used as a park and site of the reconstructed bridge. In 2014, the Friends leased the land for $1 per year for 99 years to the Tuscaloosa Parks and Recreation Authority with the stipulation that PARA be responsible for developing and maintaining the park. Members of the Ironworkers local 92 under the direction of McAbee Construction reassembled the bridge according to the original factory specifications in the Park. The Park and the 1882 bridge were open to the public in September 2010. https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/2539/archive/files/3bdb676e6c52d88b5a2f99406a180070.jpg?Expires=1779926400&Signature=ZME1fmGhGXGgIaqCn8AiPpsq0iE80wYm0MRACFFi-IuRdOFpOc4YUwqT1UzRP%7El%7Emu0LEqpVncpRxOxnG80Fc3ZHR-qVkLRB5yv%7EP3chASNUztUNBYfYAU0LKFq0PRO8Q6rnfpTYywrakOtHw-XZo5ZKlh8oLMs0DL6%7E8i3hs5mTTmKSCAaLdY4WAUu8D5LfCML5QNrsqQTDeqMTkfHWo2-6O8KA2cAK8KrNJERpm8HOSPup0bmgQiMHboTj2ntpWpkdYN2OK8HxYebQGoioDUVaKz3QaTMCLpAloIYzUofERyICs6uU4HFMu6W7Tgqtlfve7pP4R3l-QSsh2V2EYQ__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 75f5c186a0ce6dd16ad4330ec03ec82a Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

A ceremony to celebrate its arrival was planned for October 28, 1913, but due to the delay, the ceremony postponed. The barge was different from any seen in the area before, designed after the barges used in Holland. Built largely of steel, the barge could run into any number of sand bars and mud banks with no serious damage. It had a maximum capacity of 1,000 tons and, with a maximum load, drew six feet of water. The barge was said to have come up the river with little difficulty. Several times the barge ran on sand bars, but was able to get off without assistance. At Lock 3, a line from a government boat got tangled up in the barge’s propeller and divers had to cut the rope with knives. The exercises took place at Lock 10 where a platform had been erected for speakers and the christening of the barge by Miss Eleanore Blair and Miss Cherokee Van de Graaff. Barge No. 3 was given the name “Tuscaloosa.” Speakers were S.H. Sprott, Probate Judge W.W. Brandon, and U.S. Sen. John H. Bankhead. After Friday’s celebrations, loading the pig iron on Saturday was a laborious task because of the lack of wharfing at Holt. The “Tuscaloosa” took its leave at daybreak on Sunday morning, leaving officials talking about ways to erect wharves in the city in the quickest manner. All agreed that the Warrior River had been put to its severest test since the water level was at its lowest point of the year. It surpassed all expectations. https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/2539/archive/files/17146c6112592d2b401f6719632bb57a.jpg?Expires=1779926400&Signature=DJuaHJSsmG996cadwTkpFDUZT-W4Vic90sK%7EEXuYTmnRqpPuMPYg9GqTAGSEIhY8jtlJhF4em9yyR264hcggWAjOd1lRcauj4h5nJmMi2Mkne9FqDe-4r34H8C-CVGI2xnpyn3SHFAfXj4RugDg7jUzX--xWpQ-BBwY8KuyexVL%7ElCrkaVlvxh6v1MIkfTO2vWhVujpQIZHFklX3EwwkzkhXQAlFfeJojYi-46-0EtKsBgFbZCbab0kgDeBc8NOOTFbCUzF1PUj4d0iCrtwhaUmsoa3uXHs3C0VMzc-mLA2jXwT5usL-W7C1NW6vAelaGQS73q4w2ov87hKGOlL%7EZw__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 4f0e15799b476ec1d0608f474f41f6b0 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

Title A name given to the resource Black Warrior-Tombigbee Waterway Monument Description An account of the resource To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the completion of the Black Warrior-Tombigbee Waterway a dedication ceremony was held to unveil a 13-foot memorial marker on October 30, 2015. The text on the marker follows: Evolution of the Black Warrior – Tombigbee Waterway Early River Improvements Navigation improvements to the Black Warrior River began in 1875 with a project to clear snags, trim overhanging trees, and dredge through shoals. In 1886, the U. S. Congress authorized constructing three locks overcoming the Tuscaloosa Falls, a series of rock rapids falling 25 feet in about two miles. On Jan 27, 1896, an event held at this site commemorated the opening of these three locks. Remnants of these locks still exist. Locks #1 and #2 are underwater – however, the stone riverbank wall of Lock #3 is visible upriver where it retains the lower terrace of The Park at Manderson Landing. Creating the Waterway To facilitate coal shipment, the River and Harbor Acts of 1902 and 1907 authorized various improvements to the Black Warrior and lower Tombigbee Rivers creating 17 locks and dams to provide navigation from the Port of Mobile to near Birmingham, AL. Christening Lock #17 on May 13, 1915 marked the completion of the original Black Warrior – Tombigbee Waterway. A gala event in Tuscaloosa celebrated this occasion. The original Black Warrior – Tombigbee Waterway incorporated Locks #1, #2 and #3 and renamed them Locks #10, #11 and #12. The Waterway Today The Black Warrior-Tombigbee Waterway provides a navigation channel nine feet deep and 200 feet wide. From its start at the foot of Water Street in Mobile, AL the waterway extends over 400 miles. Approximately 20 million tons of commerce moves on the waterway each year. Principal commodities include coal, petroleum products, wood products, and steel products. The dams create a series of lakes offering a variety of recreational opportunities. Two of the dams provide hydroelectric power. About the Navigational Marker Mile “339” marks the location of the original Lock #1 which is against the river bank directly out from this mile marker. Salvaged and surplus stainless steel components from the navigation lock gates comprise the vertical elements of the mile marker.

Title A name given to the resource Brookwood Covered Bridge Subject The topic of the resource Covered bridges Description An account of the resource This covered bridge was located about 5 miles south of Brookwood, Ala., on Covered Bridge Road. It was thought to built about 1850 and was destroyed by fire in 1962. It was the last covered bridge in Tuscaloosa County. The bridge was constructed of heavy pine timbers put together by wooden pegs. The roof was of tin with nails, put there about 1945 when re-roofing was ordered by the Tuscaloosa County Board of Revenue. The board said the old bridge should be preserved as long as possible as a historical landmark in the county. The bridge stood about 50 feet over the waters of Hurricane Creek, supported by creosoted logs, part of them resting on an abridgement of solid rock. The bridge spanned 200 feet, with the covered portion 100 feet long. In an article in The Tuscaloosa News on Feb. 6, 1955, writer Bob Kyle said bridges like this one were used extensively in olden times when houses and towns were few and far between. The covered bridges provided wagon travelers places where they could spend nights out of the cold and rain. The bridge survived in good shape even when it was bypassed when the road was paved in 1957 and a new concrete and steel bridge built and the covered bridge was closed to traffic. The members of the Alabama Federation of Garden Clubs agreed to maintain and preserve the historic landmark. Dates before the Civil War were carved into the walls with lovers' initials and Cupid's hearts. Looking Back, Tuscaloosa News, August 21, 2017 In June of 1962, the bridge burned with arson suspected. By the time firefighters arrived, the middle section of the bridge had collapsed into Hurricane Creek. Ten University of Alabama students admitted they were possibly responsible for the fire; they said they had been picnicking and built a fire on the end of the bridge, but thought they had put out the fire before leaving. With no evidence to indicate any intent to burn the bridge, Circuit Solicitor Fred Nichol indicated that no criminal charges would be filed.
