Description
During dark nights lighthouses are of value to fishermen as the light guides fish into weirs. This weir is 12 miles above Eastport, Maine close to the famous summer resort of St. Andrews, New Brunswick. This type of weir is called "Grab All."
This is part of the Atlantic Fisherman collection: correspondence, photographs and news articles to and from the Atlantic Fisherman, a journal concerned with commercial fishing.
