lobster boat

Crustacean fishing vessel

A lobster boat is a small fishing vessel designed for hauling lobster traps, typically featuring a low stern for pulling traps aboard, an open deck for working, and a small wheelhouse.

The design originated in New England and remains characteristic of the Maine coast: The harbor was crowded with lobster boats unloading the morning's catch.
