Were six foot long lobsters routinely caught in the seventeenth, eighteenth,and nineteenth century?

I doubt it but I do know Native Americans here in New England considered them a "junk" type food and didn't necessarily eat them. They came to the salt water for clams and other fish. That's a cool thought, a six foot lobster.

They were plentiful and would wash up on shore.

Probably much larger than now but humans have heavily fished the oceans/seas for so long that most large fish are gone. Predator fish like Tuna used to be several times larger than they are now. Even if it's still in their DNA to grow that large, they get caught long before that ever happens..

According to urban ledgend, lobsters were considered trash and not eaten. As recounted to me, in Portsmouth, Maine -- The prisoners in jail were feed lobster, because there were abundant quantities that no one wanted. Good story, don't know if it is true..

1 Beats me, but I heard some of the crabs down there had a ten foot long claw and legs lenght. I'm not sure but I think I've heard of this maybe twice and may have seen a photo of one in national geographic and one other magazine I don't remember. So why tell you, as silly as that first sounds it-might-just-be-possible!

BYE .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
