Lobster Tales

From the Vineyard Gazette editions of September, 1983:

John T. Hughes joined a distinguished team of ocean scientists from around the world for a trip to the once-closed nation of China. His passport was his career here on the Island, as a leading biologist studying Homarus americanus — the American lobster. His expertise is unequalled and often sought out by those interested in the raising of lobsters. Mr. Hughes built and has managed the state lobster hatchery in Oak Bluffs since its inception in 1949.

From Gazette editions of August, 1935:

The dividing line of the summer season has been crossed. The largest half is here, for August is traditionally the apogee of summer, the fulfillment and culmination of the collective Island vacation. The greatest vacation for the greatest number comes in August, and from a business standpoint a big August is always expected to redeem an only medium July.

From a Gazette edition in 1958:

Martha’s Vineyard is famous for many things, not least of which are the waters which surround it. Explorers from the earliest times remarked upon the tidal phenomena which were and still are of unbelievable nature.
