The Serene lobster fishing boat owned by Sam Nicolosi sits peacefully in its winter home. During the summer months, Serene is moored in Mattapoisett Harbor when it's not working the waters off Martha’s Vineyard. Lobster fishing has been part of the New England way of life for decades. A 1911 report written by the Commission on Fisheries and Game noted that lobsters were believed to reach as long as 4 feet. Photo by Marilou Newell
