GEORGETOWN ISLAND . MIDCOAST MAINE
Maine supplies the world with lobster. Our lobstermen and women face ever-increasing regulatory and environmental challenges. The fishery—and the livelihoods it has provided for generations—are uncertain. A hat or T-shirt purchase supports Maine lobstermen and women.

Local legends The Work Trucks summed it up best with their 2015 smash hit: Fishin’ Boat.
I work on a fishin’ boat. It’s hard work, no joke. We’ll go out seven days a week. It’s a good boat, doesn’t leak. And all day long we’ll be haulin’ traps, fightin’ snarls and settin’ em back. Tyin’ knots and makin’ em fast. We got hard hands. Strong backs.

Let me just get just a one thing straight, it’s guaranteed I won’t be late. When it’s time to work, I’ll be there, with a few minutes to spare. Cuz the captain he’s a bit hornery, well he don’t take shit from nobody. He’ll tell you just like it is, better watch out, when he gets pissed.
I roll my own cigarettes. I don’t have too many regrets. Well I like cash, I hate checks. Watch out we’re gonna make a mess. Cuz I work on a fishin boat. It’s hard work. No joke. We’ll go out seven days a week. It’s a good boat, don’t leak. And all day long we’ll be haulin’ traps. Fightin’ snarls and settin’ em back. Tyin’ knots and makin’ em fast. We got hard hands and strong backs.
My hands are cut and stained. Cuz we’ll go out sunshine or rain. Let’s just get the job done, then we’ll go have some fun.
Let me just make one thing clear, I like drinkin’ beer, makin’ love all night long, barely got time to write this song.
Cuz I work on a fishin boat. It’s hard work. Cut throat. Cuz we’ll go out seven days a week. It’s a good boat. Don’t leak.
