Lobstering Tour - Perkins Cove, ME

Went on a lobstering tour back around 1997. You pay your fare to go out for about an hour or so along the southern Maine coast, watching and listening to a tour guide explain lobsters and lobstering as a lobsterman pulls a number of traps from the water. It was an absolutely fascinating introduction to the process and I just about wore out my SLR camera snapping away picture after picture. Hope to scan and post them when I find the time. In the mean time you can check out the digital photos I too when I went out into Somes Sound with Mt. Desert Island lobsterman John Stanley on his lobsterboat the "Linda Sea" in 2003. Photos from that trip are posted here.
