103-year-old Maine 'Lobster Lady' signs up for 95th year hauling traps

Virginia “Ginny” Oliver, known as Maine's oldest lobster harvester, began hauling traps before the Great Depression, at 8 years old, with her father and older brother.

Oliver, who celebrated her 103rd birthday this week with friends and family, will still lobster for the 2023 season, according to the outlet. 

We Fountain Boys let our Granny stay home and weed the bean field in her sunset years, but then, she couldn’t swim, and we didn’t have a boat. At least we kept her active and pulling her weight, and though she did sometimes protest (feebly), we knew that, deep down, she appreciated the opportunity to feel useful.
