The caption reads, "Waldo-Hancock Bridge, Bucksport, Maine." The bridge spanned the Penobscot River at U.S. Route 1, Bucksport, Hancock County. It was the first long-span suspension bridge opened in Maine on November 16, 1931, providing a link between the inland population of Maine and the international maritime commerce of the coast. The bridge was replaced in 2003.

The Tichnor Brothers printing company published this type of postcard circa 1930-1945.
