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?

Hidden History of Maritime New Jersey

The Mullica River Shipwrecks and the Revolutionary War

Hidden History of Maritime New Jersey

New Jersey has commonly been known as the "Crossroads of the American Revolution." So many of the major Revolutionary War battles were fought here at places that jump off the pages of our history textbooks, like the Battles of Monmouth, Princeton, and Trenton and, of course, the iconic Delaware Crossing on Christmas Day by General George Washington in 1776. Washington and his main army, it seems, had spent more time in New Jersey than any other place. Of course, New Jersey's geographic position between New York and Philadelphia was a large part of that "Crossroads" title. Not surprisingly, the ocean provided another type of crossroad - one that was faster, more direct, and with the ability to send large amounts of supplies and troops by sea and along our coastline.
