Mr. T – Lobster Boat, Lubec, Maine
On a calm November morning off the coast of Lubec, Maine, the Mr. T — a traditional Downeast lobster boat — set out across smooth waters into the rising sun. With the coastline behind it and a full day of hauling ahead, the scene embodies everything that makes the working waterfront iconic: quiet strength, heritage, and the deep-rooted rhythms of maritime life.

Photographed low to the water with a wide-angle lens, this image places the viewer right at sea level — drawing attention to the purposeful lines of the boat and the soft glow of the early morning light. The simplicity of the moment is what makes it timeless: a single vessel in motion, honoring generations of tradition beneath Maine’s big sky.

This piece is a tribute to the coastal culture of the Northeast — honest, hard-earned, and full of beauty.

Available in a variety of fine art sizes and finishes — ideal for collectors of coastal art, lovers of New England, or anyone inspired by the enduring spirit of the sea.
