Spanning St. Anna Bay, the Queen Emma floating bridge at Willemstad, Curaçao, is the oldest permanent wooden pontoon bridge in the world. Known as the “Swinging Old Lady,” the now-pedestrian-only bridge connects Willemstad's two halves, Punda and Otrobanda, and was named after Emma of Waldeck and Pyrmont, who was queen consort of the Netherlands during its construction in 1888.
