Additional Details:
Smallest drawbridge in the world. Sailing enthusiasts wishing to experience Ely's Harbour from the Great Sound, find they must pass through Somerset Bridge, which joins Somerset Island to the mainland, and is reputed to be the smallest drawbridge in the world. Passerby are always willing to lend a helping hand as they steer the mast of your boat through the narrow 18 inch opening, and then replace the center board of the bridge so that waiting traffic can be on its way.
