Amazon.com: Boatbuilding Down East: How Lobsterboats Are Built (9780937822739): Royal Lowell: Books#_

and this

BARNES & NOBLE | Model Boat Building: The Lobster Boat by Steve Rogers, Schiffer Publishing, Ltd. | Paperback

Not sure how much you want to put into this but these have caught my eye. John
Hi John,

I have the Rogers' book and have the "How Lobsterboats Are Built" book on order. Never enough source material...,

I'll look over the photos once again for detail and I'll let you know if there's any need for a higher resolution source. I have picked up on the need for "ice boards" on the bow section. You've got to be crazy to work lobster pots with ice on the water - guess jobs in Maine are really scarce...,
