Maine Lobster Boat: History of an Iconic Fishing Vessel - Hardcover
Description
by Daniel Sheldon Lee (Author)
The modern lobster boat has evolved slowly over decades to become the craft it is today: seaworthy, strong, fast, and trusted implicitly by the lobstermen and women to get the job done and get them home, each and every time, through the most terrifying--and sometimes life-threatening--conditions that the sea can dish up. "Where do lobster boats come from?" "What is the origin of their design?" "Who builds them?" "How do they work?" The story of the Maine lobster boat needs to be told--before the storied history of this iconic American craft slips away forever into the past, on the heels of what may be the last surviving traditional lobster boat builders.
Filled with colorful characters, old maritime tales, and fascinating details, this a definitive look at the origins and lore of Maine's most ubiquitous vessel.
