Lobster Traps, Woolwich, Maine, USA
The lobster trap was invented in 1808 by Ebenezer Thorndike of Swampscott, Massachusetts.
The entrances to the traps are designed to be one-way only. To entice the lobster, a piece of bait, often fish or chum, is placed inside the trap.
A long rope is attached to the trap, at the end of which is a plastic or styrofoam buoy, so the traps can be identified & pulled up & checked every other day or so. The traps are weighed down by bricks so when they are sent overboard, they will sink & settle on the sea floor.
