MAINE LOBSTER BOAT

Following WWI with the increased availability of reliable, inexpensive gas engines, the lobstermen of Maine were attracted to round bottom, double wedge launches as an alternative to the Friendship Sloop or powered dories. The most useful and attractive feature of these launches is their ability to maintain good speed and handle well in rough or choppy weather. This design has had almost universal acceptance among the lobstermen because its speed allows doubling the length of trap line and it is fully capable of hauling the 200 pounds or more of weight that makes up a day's catch. Characteristics of the modern lobsterboat. Round bottom, double-wedge hull. A single inboard gas or diesel engine. A small forward cabin and windshield shelter for the helmsman open, decked cockpit aft. Length varies from 20 to 40 feet. Built of cedar planking over oak frames. The model illustrated is based on a boat built in the Boothbay Harbor region and is very typical of the many thousands used along the Maine coast.
