A view of Cook's Lobster and Ale House from the Harpswell Island Bridge off Casco Bay on Bailey's Island, Maine. Established in 1955 by Maurice Cook, the original shop was a one room store serving take out of lobsters too small to ship out of state. Currently owned by Nick and Jennifer Charboneau. 
The Harpswell Islands are comprised of Sebascodegan Island (the Great Island), Orr's Island and Bailey's Island. Constructed in 1927, the Harspwell Island Bridge is a cribstone bridge built of large granite slabs laid in crib fashion using no mortar, engineered to allow the tide to pass through without damaging the structure. In 1975 the bridge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places and in 1984 was designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark. 
In the late 1990's Cook's was featured in Visa's "Everywhere you want to be" commercials, providing the restaurant with worldwide notoriety.
