I found the name Jana Marie on a list of lobster permits, with hull number 653408. Hull numbers never change, and that connected to Pot Luck in Florida. One note says Pot Luck was constructed in 1983; builder's records are incomplete.

Pot Luck was in the "golden crab" (Chaceon fenneri) fishery around Florida before being brought up to Boston for lobsters. Photo date March 6, 2018.

The lobster boat Pot Luck is seen on a chilly January morning in Cape Cod Bay.

Now home for lobsters

The Jana Marie is a memorial reef placed in memory of avid fisherman Doug Oakland. Although it was sunk in August, New York State didn't get around to announcing it until December, and then on Facebook. Does anyone still use Facebook?
