Seaweed Tours Lunenburg

Morning all just a little observation that I thought I would share with you.. i’ve been noticing that on Facebook that there are special pages for people that are looking for things to do in Nova Scotia or if they’re travelling to our area and lots local people are making suggestions good ones at that, but that being said I rarely ever see anyone suggesting my little touring company..Seaweed Tours.. there are lots of other suggestions for things to do that are wonderful to share with people like the museum, the town, etc. etc. but as I said very rarely am I mentioned and yet this is probably been our best summer yet and the five star reviews continue to roll in which were very, pleased and proud. I can only chalk this up to not many folks locally have chosen to come for a run with us on tour and share our perspectives of our beautiful community. It would be wonderful if you would check out my reviews and consider coming for a tour with us .. that way the next time you’re asked, you know you can confidently suggest coming on our tour and the people that you send our way we believe will be only two glad that you did.!

Touring on the Seaweed Bus was amazing. Nancy is a blast and made you feel like you’ve been friends a lifetime. She is so knowledgeable and shares these beautiful and funny stories. She is the kindest and friendliest tour guide I have ever had! She is located at the boardwalk in Lunnenburg. I was on crutches and she made sure that my experience was still the best! I highly recommend taking this tour, you will not be disappointed. This was the highlight of my stay in Lunnenburg! Thanks Nancy!

Two lobsters pose with a boy in New Jersey, 1916.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
During the American colonial-era, lobsters were considered “garbage meat” and were eaten by indentured servants, prisoners and poor families that couldn’t afford anything else. Even the indigenous tribes that lived near the coast would use lobsters as fertilizer or fish bait rather than consume them.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
19th century Kentucky politician, John Rowan, once said, “Lobster shells about a house are looked upon as signs of poverty and degradation.” It was common for people to bury lobster shells in their backyard to prevent their neighbors from seeing them.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In one Massachusetts town, indentured servants even sued their owners because he was feeding them too much lobster. They won the lawsuit and got it in ink that they could only be fed lobster—at most—three times a week.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lobsters had such a bad reputation because they were extremely plentiful. Early colonists could just walk up to the shoreline and collect them because they would wash up onto the shore in droves. The lobster also had a reputation for being a bottom feeder that would literally eat anything. It also didn’t help that during this time, people ate lobster by griding it up entirely and eating it as a paste or stew.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In the early 19th century, people paid 53 cents a pound for Boston baked beans and paid just 11 cents for a pound of lobster. It was quite common for lobster to be served to cats.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Towards the end of the 19th century, the opinion of the lobster began to change. As railroads began to expand across America, the Railway companies decided to serve lobster because it was cheap, plentiful, and largely unknown to inland passengers who found it delicious and demanded more! It was during this time that lobster meat was also being canned and sold all across the country, which pushed demand even higher.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
By the 1920s, there were fewer lobsters yet demand continued to increase. By the 1950s, the lobster had cemented its status as a delicacy and became something that was eaten by movie stars and the wealthy. ⁣⁣
