Cabbage and noodles? Heinz and ketchup? Pittsburgh and the Mon? Some things just go together. On this 90-minute boat cruise with DOORS OPEN Pittsburgh, go beyond the typical sightseeing tour as we sail past the Hot Metal Bridge and discover how the Monongahela River shaped the Steel City.
Fragments of an industrial past dot its riverbanks, but the Monongahela River began shaping the fortunes of Pittsburgh long before iron and steel. From topography to transportation, from industry to innovation, from tech to tourism, the Monongahela River is central to the story and history of Pittsburgh. Join engineer and local bridge expert Todd Wilson and architectural historian Justin Greenawalt for this immersive look at the mighty Monongahela River.
