Walking along any beach on the New England coastline you will often see the remains of a lobster trap washed up during high-tide or perhaps a recent storm. The more severe the storm the more artifacts wash up on the beach. I once spent a day on the cape after the infamous no name storm of 1991 to find the beach littered with lobster traps (metal and wood), fishing lures and line, rope, clothing, pieces of houses, boats, and common garbage. It was a scavengers dream.
