The lobster fishing industry which
business in the Machias waters is now
nearly a thing of the past. In the
years 1885 and 1856 the lobster fisher
men Of Machias bay and its tributaries
made a record in their catch which has
not since been equalled in any OF their
three year catches combined. During
either Of the above named years an eX-
perienced lobster trapper with 20 traps
could take from the water POO Holsters
per day. which We're sold to smacks
from Boston and Portland markets for
five cents each. thence to be shipped to
Chicago, st Louis and other Western
cities. The fishermen realizing n cash

the improved steam Well smacks took
their places; the increase in the catch
was so enormous that the lobster could
not mature sufficient to hold its own.
Consequently a decrease was notice
able in the number of the different
catches: the fishermen began to get
their eyes open and at once asked for
legislation prohibiting the taking Of
Holsters under a certain measurement
