Lobster Boat Trip

I wrote about the lobster fishing tour we went on. After looking at the pictures we took, I though I would do another. This is the lobster boat trip.

As you leave Portland Harbor, you can look back at the shore and the many different ships and boats.

Portland is a busy harbor with lots of commercial shipping. It is also a stopping point for many cruise lines.

I love looking at the old forts which guarded the harbor. They areĀ  very interesting places to visit. The construction of the forts will amaze you.

The lobster boat trip also provides you with views of several lighthouses. The smaller one is in the harbor and you can walk out to it. Portland Headlight the tall lighthouse in the distance is a great place to visit. We have been to it several times.

If you go on a lobster boat trip, know in advance its not all smooth sailing. It can be a fun ride at times. No one on our trip got sea sick, but I can see where it could happen.

As we came back to the harbor, we saw there was a gathering to watch the return. The lobster boat trip would be worth the price even without the lobsters.
