The Fishing Fleet of Galilee

September 20
Narraganset, RI
$125/person

Fishing has been way a way of life since the 19th century in the Ocean State

For those who enjoy lobster and seafood, this is an opportunity to photograph the fishing vessels, boats, and men and women who bring them to your table. We will start about one hour before sunset. After a quick meet up, we will then embark on a walking tour of the fishing fleet. During our walk-about we will be scouting for great compositions to capture the fleet as the sun sets, maybe create a Sunstar, include a fiery sky or utilize some moody clouds. This is your opportunity to experience and photograph the vessels and a way of life that dates to the 19th century. For those interested in wildlife, there will also be an opportunity to photograph the ever-present seagulls that are synonymous with our fishing industry.
