Chain Bridge, The Limited Edition of 19
The Chain Bridge crosses the Merrimack River in Newburyport, MA.
The first bridge over the navigable waters of the Marimac River at this site was built in 1792. Today, the Chain Bridge, constructed in 1909, is a replica of the original suspension bridge built in 1810. Don drew the bridge from the river's edge by sliding down the rocky banks. Years of lost lures, metal sinkers, and rusty hooks are embedded among the rock formations and mud along the riverbed.
