lobsterboat
Crustacean fishing vessel
A lobsterboat is a sturdy, relatively small fishing vessel designed for harvesting lobsters from traps.
These boats typically feature a wide beam for stability, an open deck for hauling and sorting traps, and a distinctive low freeboard for easy trap retrieval.
The design originated in New England coastal communities: The harbor was crowded with lobsterboats at dawn.
