How was the 7 mile bridge made?

== == When Flagler decided to extend his railroad down to Key West (which was at the time one of the major cities in Florida), he was originally going to build the railroad on fill, because that was cheaper than building bridges. But the locals needed the channel south of Vaca Key to get their produce from the bay side to Key West. Moser Channel is the only deep water route from one side to the other. So old Henry decided to build a bridge. Everyone said it could not be done. But he ordered special salt water cement from Germany, and his people built the bridge.
