After reading THE SECRET LIFE OF LOBSTERS, you may decide that you must try a lobster caught by the fishermen of Little Cranberry Island. Believe it or not, you can order fresh, live lobsters from Little Cranberry Island right from your computer. One of the lobstermen there, David Thomas, runs a lobster shipping business out of his home. He's an experienced lobster catcher and a very sweet man, and I'm sure he'd be happy to take your order. The lobsters you purchase from David will have been caught in the very same waters using the very same methods that you read about in the book. And since David is not featured in my book, nor has he provided me with any incentive for mentioning his business, as a journalist I am blissfully free from any conflict of interest in recommending his delicious lobsters. Find out more (and see some photos of David hauling his traps) at: www.thomaslobster.com You might also be interested in a project called "Lobster Tales," in which certain Maine lobsters are tagged before being shipped around the country, or even around the world, for sale. If you happen to purchase one of these lobsters, you can learn about the fisherman who caught your lobster by logging onto this website: www.lobstertales.org Some of the websites listed below provide additional information about people or institutions mentioned in THE SECRET LIFE OF LOBSTERS. Others may be of general interest to people who want to know more about lobsters or lobstering, and one or two are just for fun. If you know of a website that you think should be added to this list, feel free to contact me.
