Ship to Shore, Owls Head

Rodney and Anna Mason purchased the Ship to Shore Lobster Wharf which provides access to Owls Head Harbor (Knox County). The wharf was on the open market and had suffered (mainly cosmetically) from some recent years of neglect. The 0.25 acre lot and 14,200 square foot wharf & accessory buildings currently serve 30 fishing boats with room to serve more. There are currently a total of 100 families supported from the commercial fishing activities on the wharf. The wharf provides all tide access, bait, gas & diesel fuel, parking and two hydraulic winches with booms. Landings at the wharf include lobster and in the future they hope to handle shrimp, scallops, crab, clams and worms. The Masons intend to use the proceeds from the sale of covenant to help pay down some of the principal on the property purchase and help lower their annual debt service. Ship to Shore Lobster was granted an allocation of $226,250.00 from the Land for Maine’s Future Board to put towards the purchase of the property in exchange for the sale of a working waterfront covenant.
