Summary

Here's a photo of a time when the Brunswick Veterans Day Parade went east to west, as it does today. Jim Sullivan has been identified as the man driving the tractor pulling the Sandy Hook School float. In view of the bridge pier next to People's Bank, this photo likely dates to 1954-54.

Hank Majeski Appears to be a fairly shiny Ford 8N tractor. They were built between 1947 and 1952.

Randy George Bridge dedicated July 30, 1955. Bridge pier intact in picture. My guess is November 1954. Possibly '53, but I’ll stick with 1954.🇺🇸

Smoketown History (Brunswick, Md.) Randy George That's probably the best guess. I'd say 1953 because it seems unlikely they could've built out the rest of the bridge in 8.5 months, especially with 4 winter months, but maybe so. I'd imagine the piers had been built out in the river by the same time. This photo of spectators sitting in the unfinished roadway probably was November, 1954....Peter
