Teachers wear red in support of Maine lobstermen and their families. Mainers are proud of their lobstering heritage and their efforts to protect and sustain the marine environment they are so dependent on.

A Wiscassett reader recently sent us this photo. The Willard Daggett, a lobster smack, was built at the Rice Brothers boatyard in 1923. This photo was taken in 1934 on a “picnic trip” to the region. Read more about lobster smacks in our summer 2022 newsletter posted on our website under the Heritage & History tab. This photo and many others have been professionally digitized by archivists at the Penobscot Marine Museum (PMM) for the BRMF Research Collection. You can link to that on our website as well. Want your family fishing heritage preserved for future generations? Consider adding your photos to the BRMF Research Collection. We can make digital copies and return the originals to you. Email us for more information.
