World Record Lobster
by Flick Ford

When Europeans first arrived in the New World, lobsters were so plentiful that a minor storm could deposit two feet tall piles of the crustacean along the shoreline. They were so abundant and easy to harvest that they were known as “the poor man’s chicken.” Flick Ford brings us, in all its Technicolor glory, the world record lobster that was caught in 1977 off Nova Scotia, Canada, weighing in at 44 pounds, 6 ounces, measuring nearly four feet long. If it takes five to seven years for a lobster to reach the weight of one pound, we can only wonder how old this world record lobster was.

We don’t often get the chance to see just how beautiful these creatures are when emerging  fresh from the trap. Perfect for the beach house or kitchen, you can order your lobster in one of three sizes: 1 1/2 lbs (paper), 4 lbs (canvas) or one of the (15) world record 44 lb behemoths (canvas).

SmallWorks™ Miniature art is an important part of any collection and SmallWorks is the way to start yours. Such works are often a collector’s first purchase because they are less expensive.
