About The Fishing Harbor
Long before the town stirs, the working harbor is already alive. Engines rumble in the dark, ropes are coiled and cast off, and the first trawlers nose out past the breakwater into a steel-gray dawn. By the time the sun clears the horizon, the catch is already on its way in, lobster traps hauled dripping from the deep, nets heavy with silver fish, and the foghorn still rolling low across the water.
