Just a small stack of lobster traps among the large amount at L'Archeveque Harbour at the end of the season - but many a lobster has been brought ashore from these inefficient devices*.
* The wooden traps shown above has been around in basically the same design since the early 1800s with minor changes in net material and weighting (to force it to sink). But studies have shown that a majority of the lobsters that enter seeking the bait do escape. However the last several years in particular have seen good lobster landings at the dock.
