A hopeful start to a new day.

Sunrise on an August Monday brings the hope of a new day and, for the lobster fishermen of Prospect Harbor, full traps. The empty moorings show that several of the boats have already left to check their traps and most of the others are preparing to get underway.

Since, by Maine law, lobster boats must stay in harbor on Sunday, the lobstermen are hoping for a good catch this morning.
