Lobster buoys mark the spot of lives spent fishing on the Maine coast

The buoy is a fisherman’s calling card. It is also his note to self of where he was yesterday and where he will be going tomorrow. But more importantly, it is his signature of a life lived on the water. The colored buoy is a pretty slice of Americana, with so much of the work, devotion and dedication hidden under the water, not visible to many of us. But it is there: the struggle, the effort, the work and the stories of those who have done this before.
