"Lobsterman: Masters of the Atlantic Coast" From the rugged shores of Maine to the picturesque fishing villages of Canada, lobstermen brave the treacherous waters in search of their prized catch. With their trusty lobster boats bobbing off the coast, these skilled fishermen navigate through unpredictable tides and unforgiving waves. In Happisburgh, Norfolk, a patient fisherman waits for the perfect tide to set sail. As he sets out into the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, his wicker lobster pot stands ready to capture these delectable crustaceans. Meanwhile, another dedicated fisherman in Seaton meticulously tends to his own pots with utmost care. Across Polperro's charming harbor in England, a seasoned lobster fisherman carries on a tradition that has been passed down through generations. The legacy continues as they cast their nets into the deep blue sea and bring back bountiful catches for local markets. Traveling back in time to early 1900s Maine, we witness an era when lobsters were abundant and harvesting them was an art form. Lobstermen proudly display their impressive hauls while showcasing their resilience and determination amidst challenging conditions. Venturing further into history, we find ourselves transported to 1894 on Grand Manan Channel between Maine and Canada. Lobster fishing thrives as fishermen skillfully maneuver their vessels through rocky channels in pursuit of this coveted delicacy. On Great Wass Island near Black Duck Cove off Maine's coast lies yet another testament to lobstermen's dedication. A majestic lobster boat gracefully glides across pristine waters as its crew diligently works towards securing a prosperous harvest. The allure of lobsters transcends borders as it captivates not only North America but also visitors from around the world who flock to Perkins Cove in Ogunquit, Maine. Here they witness firsthand how these resilient men conquer nature's challenges while preserving centuries-old traditions.
