Here, we see the Fishing Vessel “Long Set” basking in the last sunlight to reach Naskeag Harbor on December 18. She’s been refitted with mast and boom for scallop dredging and is not afraid of the cold.
Fresh scallops from the local fleet are a popular part of Christmas dinners here. Come to think of it, they’re popular all year with those of us who buy enough in December or January to vacuum pack and freeze. (Brooklin, Maine)
