Artist's Description
A lobster trap washes up on a New England sandy beach after a storm. This a common find today where as a few years back it would have been a wooden oak trap. Today they almost exclusively use these coated steel lobster traps. They are probably cheaper and last longer but they lose some of the Quintessential New England feel from the old wooden lobster traps that had been used for nearly 300 years. I went lobstering once when I was 13 years old (and yes they had boats way back then). The lobsterman had been plying his trade on the ocean for many years already and when his assistant had gotten sick I lucked into the job. He picked my up in Marblehead and took me to Reds, a local breakfast spot on Marblehead harbor. We went out to his lobster boat and spent the day bringing in trap after trap. At the end of the day he paid me in lobsters (the culls that he wouldn't get much for) and dropped me off on my uncles wharf (a float on the water in front of his house which was on Salem harbor.
