Perkins Cove Drawbridge

Cool History:
The drawbridge at Perkins Cove is one of those places that feels like old Maine.
The first footbridge went up in 1890 (so people could cross the cove), but when the harbor was dredged in the early 1940s to handle larger fishing boats, the bridge was rebuilt as a drawbridge.
It is the only wooden double-leaf draw footbridge in the United States.
We actually had a lot of fun walking around, but the drawbridge was definitely the highlight (My favorite part was when my sister was standing on some recently replaced boards - and I told her it was a trap door and she was gonna fall hahahahaha)Read more
