Caption attached on back was removed. “Ralph Phippen, who started hauling traps when he was eight years old, is almost a classic picture of the Downeast Lobsterman --- gruff, determined, proud. During the depression of the 1930’s,he painted the stern of his boat red, white and blue then labeled her name over the colors -- “Hard Luck.” now he shares his fishing skiff with patrons of the Oceanarium.
