Underway for lobster fishing grounds, Nancy heads out into Penobscot Bay. Her bait is neatly stored in barrel (right fore-ground), and boat hook is ready to pick up first pot buoy.

Handy with a hammer, Sea Goddess Nancy Arey makes and repairs many of her own lobster traps.

Pot buoy comes aboard, trailing strands of rock weed. While her 16-foot boat is built for work, Nancy believes in keeping it trim and clean. She has what may well be the only freshly painted -- and odorless - bait barrel on the Maine coast.

Sea goddess with sea king and man in Coast Guard

Brought up on a coastal farm, Nancy is used to hard work. Once, when a hay bailer broke down, she and her grandmother hand raked a three-acre field in the broiling sun. As shown here, the farm borders an inlet of Penobscot Bay.

Nancy likes animals. Here she plays with the family dog, Max, named after a German butler Maximillian who once lived nearby. She is also fond of horses and has won blue ribbons at horse shows around the state.

The differences between an American lobster (left) and a south African rock lobster (right) are contemplated by Lisa Hamilton, Scientific Assistant in the Department of Fishes and Aquatic Biology at the American Museum of Natural History. The two lobster specimens appear in the museum's newest exhibition, "Shrimps, Lobsters and Crabs: Much Ado About Decapod Crustaceans."

Accuracy of detail was essential in the preparation of dioramas for the new exhibit on shrimps, lobsters, and crabs at the American Museum of Natural History. This model shows that an American lobster, entering a lobster pot, crawls in backwards.

Museum Vistor Eric Brenner, 8, of Clark, NJ

Ocean surface and bottom views are shown in this diorama on fishing for American losters in the new exhibit on shrimps, lobsters and crabs at the American Museum of Natural History. The buoy marks the location of the lobster pot, while the bottle float adjusts the rope length to tide level. Below, the lobster, lured by the bait backs his way into the pot.

Display of lobsters, showing the two kinds -- American lobster (northern or Maine) and South African Rock Lobster (spiny) -- at a new exhibit, which opened March 16, at the American Museum of Natural History, New York. This case is part of the exhibit, "Shrimps, Lobsters and Crabs -- Much Ado about Decapod Crustaceans," now on permanent display in the Museum's Hall of Ocean Life.
