Correct, it's probably due to the whaling ships, the older stone bridges would be too low to allow the ships free movement up and down the river as opposed to Kaldwin's bridge which can be raised or lowerd, othervise it could probably be a measure to limit the spread of plague or the result of poor maintainence :/
