Bath’s new and old bridges over the Kennebec
When completed, the fixed crossing provided a seventy-five-foot clearance for water traffic. Though this is much less than the Carlton Bridge could provide in its lift span’s fully raised position, it was considered adequate in a new age of recreational sailing. Tall-masted commercial ships no longer sailed past Bath, the way they had done in earlier times, and only a few relatively low fishing boats each day left from and returned to the Stinson Seafood Company upriver, where sardines were canned. Taller ships just had to dock a bit further downriver, at the Maine Maritime Museum. With the new maximum clearance, the old movable bridge span could be parked at the seventy-five-foot level and be lowered only when a train needed to pass over it. Rail traffic on the Maine Central line had become very limited, with only one or two freight trains using the tracks daily. During the summer and into early fall, for a time the Maine Eastern Railroad ran three scenic excursion trains each way daily, five days a week, between Brunswick and Rockland, with stops in Bath and Wiscasset, though recently the service was cut back. The railroad, like the Coastal Route, does not exactly follow the coastline; they each take slightly inland shortcuts between harbors and bays, connecting the bridges that span the rivers, seldom touching an island like Arrowsic.
