Chamberlain Bridge
The Chamberlain Bridge is a bridge in Bridgetown, the capital and largest city of the nation of Barbados. In 1872, it was a swing bridge across the marine inlet channel of the inner basin of the Careenage (Constitution River) at Carlisle Bay. The out moded steel structure was dismantled and rebuilt in 2005–2006 as a lifting bridge with the state-of the-art modern technology of an all-composite single-leaf bascule design. This design is a counterweighted bridge span that pivots upward, permitting pleasure craft to pass through an inlet channel. The bridge was built using fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP), which is lighter, long lasting and non-corrosive.

quote
"Oh Chamberlain! You deserve to rest now
And view all sorts of cargo passing by
As pleasure crafts sail with the cool sea breeze
Caused by every thing flowing over you;
For you give them shelter from angry seas.
To your north stand political towers,
In this temporal grove, the Careenage
Of still waters ‘neath arched extremities
One hundred and thirty-three years this fall.
Some have mishandled you and raped you too;
The Cathedral and the heroes in the Square,
