Description
At first, lobsters were gathered by hand along the shoreline. In the late 1700s, special boats known as smacks, which featured tanks with holes that allowed seawater to circulate, were introduced in Maine for the transport of live lobsters. The workers who operated these shellfish-friendly vessels were known as smackmen. It was not until the mid-19th century that lobster trapping, also first practiced in Maine, became a more popular way to collect the sea creatures. (history.com)

Love this! What a charming and so fitting Christmas tree for New England. What is more Maine than 'lobstah"? To use the pots to create a Christmas tree is so creative and the lights add such cheer to the dark New England nights. Favorite for sure! Hope this was entered in every Christmas contest!
