The wreckage of fishing boats line the wharves in Engelhard Harbor. Some are still afloat, some awash. If the sun rises and you’re still above water, it’s a good day. At least, another day.

A bent and twisted crab pot discarded on the dock at Engelhard. The raised wood grain of the dock shows the same hard wear. It’s a marginal life, fishing for a living.
