Lobstering in Maine

Acadia Center English student holding a Maine lobster on the Lively Lady tour in Camden.A trip to Maine is not complete without a freshly steamed lobster dinner. And one of the many ways that Acadia Center for English Immersion students get to know more about life in our small town community on Maine’s rocky coast is by learning about lobsters and lobster fishing.

One popular excursion is to the museum at Marshall Point in Port Clyde and the Port Clyde lobster buoy exhibit at Marshall Point Lighthouse museum.lighthouse made famous by Tom Hanks in the film Forest Gump.

In summer, students also take a cruise on the M/V Lively Lady out of our home port of Camden, and see what it’s like to haul a lobster trap.
