Description

What is it like to live and work in a lobster fishing village in some of the remote parts of Maine?  The extreme weather conditions of the Maine coast, unreliable fishing seasons and an ever-present element of danger are just some of the challenges encountered by lobster fishermen.  They will have to adapt to constant change and balance exploiting the natural resource for personal profit with a duty to conserve lobster stocks for future generations.  In spite of the challenges, most would not trade some great benefits of their job – from the independence it offers to unique pastimes like lobster boat racing.  These fishermen are not just the masters of their ships, they’re the captains of their souls.  From a circle of relatives of four generations of lobster fishermen, Christina Lemieux Oragano provides a glimpse inside these lobstering communities and celebrates it for those lucky enough to live it – the trials, triumphs or even a couple of of her favorite lobster recipes.
