Explore the funny and obscure backstory behind DC’s “Lobsterman” statue
At The Wharf’s Market Pier in Southwest D.C. sits the statue of a watchful protector, a dark knight, a hero who is definitely from out of town.
The Maine Lobsterman is a New England treasure that somehow ended up right here in the nation’s capital.
The story of how it got here is a twisting tale with ebbs and flows — much like waves on the high seas.
Back again with WTOP’s Matt Kaufax, National Park Service Ranger Mike Litterst takes us through the claw-tastic backstory behind this obscure monument — and it’s sure to crack you up.
