I have lived in Walpole for one year. Perspectives change with the seasons. I now understand the symbiotic relationship between local Mainers and the “Rusticators,” visitors coming to escape the city heat and bathe in nature. It is tough to make a living here. Customers are seasonal and invest in relaxation, natural splendor….and lobster!

I met the crew of Sara Mead at Schoonerfest in Wiscasset. I immediately noticed the wooden lobster traps on the deck. Sara Mead is a 1965 Friendship Sloop designed by Wilbur Morse in 1902 as a single-handed sailing fishing boat. Nate and Randy Jones rebuilt Sara Mead in 2006 with an electric engine capable of generating power under sail.

The beautifully refurbished Sara Mead offers sailing charters with a very cool lobster fishing experience. Not only can you become a rusticator, but you can actually pull a lobster from a trap! Talk about fresh!

This Adirondack chair plays with the pattern of existence for so many in Maine. From fishermen to the table, lobster steers local economics—the patterns on the back of the chair transition from water to tablecloth to lobster trap. Sarah Mead is the featured Friendship Sloop, as she is a living monument to single-handed sailing fishermen.

The coast of Maine was settled about 1760. Lobsters were plentiful and could be easily picked up along the shore. At one time, lobsters were regarded as the lowest, most disgusting thing that a person could eat. Lobster is rich and not very filling. 

Now, no visitor will leave their trip to Maine without some form of lobster in their stomach!
