MEET FISHERMEN
MERRIL'S wharf
"The Desert" is where commercial fisherman Ian Mayo of Maine Fisheries will tell you what it's like to go to sea aboard a commercial vessel, and how important it is to take care of your ship and your gear. He is full of many incredible stories, so bring your questions. Traditionally, Ian will hang one of his nets using his company's crane so that visitors can see how it is used underway.
