Of visual interest on the waterfront recently: At least one Fishing Vessel brought in some of her lobster traps a bit early in this unusual fishing season and a local crane barge “ground out” on the Naskeag Harbor sand spit, leaving no mystery as to the broadness of her bottom.
More specifically, above you see FV Long Set off-loading traps at the Town Dock. Below, you’ll see A. H. Marine’s unnamed “workboat” resting on the spit for minor repairs before she continues her fall routine. Among other things, she and her crew remove local pier floats and gangways for winter storage.
