About this postcard
The card shows the new bridge over the Portage River at Port Clinton, Ohio, with concrete arches and tall, Art Deco-style pylons rising from the water. The printed caption calls the town 'Fort Clinton,' likely a misprint for Port Clinton, and promotes the area as "In Ohio's Lake Erie Vacationland," the western gateway to the peninsula resort section. The text lists fishing, boating, and swimming as the main sports, with cottages, cabins, a public picnic ground, and a tourist camp on the lake front. Port Clinton sits at the mouth of the Portage River on Lake Erie, a summer gateway to the Marblehead Peninsula and the Lake Erie islands.
