Maine lobsterman at 94 to retire after 75 years
Charles Murphy of Friendship Maine, the oldest lobster fisherman in the state, plans to retire after 73 years at sea. He now knits nylon heads for traps to stay busy, recalling gas boats arriving in 1904 and wages of seven cents per lobster before the modern price around 21.50 each. He rises at 3am for trips, but says work remains steady when he slows down.
