Occasionally, a first time visitor is a bit taken back by our Islanders attitude toward tourism. Make no mistake, our economy here is driven by the lobstering industry. Tourism is an ancillary industry that can not compare with the millions of dollars that lobstering, fishing, urchining, scalloping, clamming and musseling bring in. Many visitors tend to forget, as they wander down the middle of Main Street, that this is a working town. Our fishermen are not on vacation in the summer, it is the short season during which they make the majority of their annual income. So we welcome visitors who acknowledge that this Island is a jewel, a true hard working fishing island, with customs and a way of life that date back over a 100 years.
