Maddocks backs Ferris ships as pier idea for Kennebec Bridge
Boothbay Harbor's Luther Maddocks proposes using Ferris type steamers as pier foundations for a Kennebec Bridge. He tells a Wiscasset meeting that five ships could be donated by the U.S. government, filled with concrete, sunk to create piers, and later dressed to form a sturdy span. The plan aims to cut costs and shorten spans, with state action sought at the September 5 gathering.
