lobster boats
Trap-hauling fishing vessels
Lobster boats are small, sturdy vessels designed for harvesting lobsters from coastal waters.
They typically feature an open deck, a wheelhouse toward the bow, and a low stern for hauling traps.
The design is associated with New England fishing communities: The harbor was crowded with lobster boats at dawn.
