Penobscot Bay 1938 advert

Motoring magazines flourished along with the automobile industry, as the demand for personal transportation arose at the beginning of the 20th Century. Published only 12 years after Route 1 was established, this promo for Penobscot Bay in Maine was a typical entry in these travel mags, which were often sponsored or published by State tourism boards.  The map is badly out of date since it does not show the Waldo-Hancock Bridge near Bucksport that was completed in 1931.
