E.B White on lobstering, 1954



You did know that lobster is a verb as well as a noun? Here's a film about lobstering made in 1954 with our Brooklin townsman, E.B. White, one of the great prose stylists of the American 20th century and a man who knew our part of the world very well. The film's subject is Eugene Eaton of Deer Isle.
