The bridge separating Wiscasset And Edgecomb was originally made of 12-foot wooden planks. Doris Pendleton remembers that she was able to see the water. She said she remembers hoping the planks would go back down.
Long before cars, horse and oxen caused the traffic to line up on Main Street in Wiscasset.
A view of Pendleton's Shipyard, which is now known as White’s Island. Pendleton’s Ship Yard is where General George Patton’s 64-foot schooner, When and If, was built. It was launched in the fall of 1938.
