Photographic essay - Maritime lobster fisherman.
Irish Lass
In early June, 2010, I spent three days aboard a lobster boat as it fished its traps in the Bay of Fundy. These photographs document the daily routine of the two Maritime fisherman who co-own the "Irish Lass." They also record some of the scenery and other vessels seen along the way.

The photos comprising this essay are not displayed in chronological order. Rather, they are organized to best describe and outline the daily routine.

My thanks to Terry Sandell and Randy Sandell, brothers and co-owners of the "Irish Lass" and the company which owns it, Sandell Brothers.
