Description
1936 Ford truck on the left, and a 1940 Chevy truck on the right parked in front of the lobster trap mill in Steep Falls. Newly-made lobster traps are visible.
Ellery Ward and William Ward bought bolts of wood and sawed them into laths and pieces to make the traps. The laths were steamed so that they would bend like bows.
