It’s a strange postcard. You can barely see the old Coast Guard Station, and many things of nautical interest (such as the red boat in the foreground, and the Lighthouse) are cropped out.
Here’s my “Now” shot from last Saturday morning. Because of some trees just out of view on the left hand side of my photo, I couldn’t match the vintage composition exactly from my spot on the Bascule Bridge. Plus, it was pretty hot and I couldn’t wait to get off the bridge and back in my air-conditioned car.
The Lorain Sailing Club and Yacht Club building is in both photos, providing some visual continuity and interest.
Anyway, I did a similar “Then & Now” of the harbor using a much older postcard back here in 2012.

...Some very fond memories of the old USCG station - when my Dad would go on sea trials for new ships out of Amship, we would go down there and wait for the ships to pass, and Dad would come up and wave.
