A view of Orr’s Island photographed on the Shore of Bailey Island with the unique cobwork bridge in the background. Using an anchored sailboat as the focal point, this serene Maine seascape is enhanced with a digital matching border and transparent frame for a more contemporary look to decorate your home or office.
For many years, the residents of Bailey Island, Maine, advocated that a bridge be built to connect their island with Orr's Island. A contract was signed in 1926, in the town of Harpswell with construction beginning on the Bailey Island Bridge in 1927 and finishing in 1928. The engineer for the project was Llewellyn N. Edwards, a bridge engineer for the Maine State Highway Commission. The design of this 1,150-foot bridge was complicated by the tides in the area known as Will's Gut. It was decided to build a cobwork bridge, using granite slabs as cribstones, acquired from local quarries in nearby Yarmouth, Maine. The slabs, longer than they are wide, were laid horizontally, first lengthwise, and then crosswise, in several layers. No mortar or cement was used. Granite slabs were considered sufficiently heavy to withstand wind and wave, while the open cribbing allowed the tide to ebb and flow freely without increasing tidal current to any great degree. Some 10,000 tons of granite were used in the project. A concrete road (now part of Route 24) was built on top of the cribstones. Wikipedia
