While on a cruise of Portsmouth Harbor, I captured this image of a lobster boat named “Early Dawn” tied up to a pier piled high with lobster traps. The foliage in the background is starting to show its fall colors. The Maine Boats website has an interesting history of the Maine lobster boat, which evolved from simple dories to sloop-style sailboats, to today’s wide, diesel-powered work boats. Another website provides information on taking a tour on a lobster boat at various locations in Maine.
This image uses an artistic software filter to impart a painterly appearance; prints are available from my Pixels shop.
