The Maine Lobsterman is a sculpture in Lobsterman Park, Portland, Maine, United States. Standing at the intersection of Middle Street and Temple Street, it was sculpted by Victor Kahill for the 1939 New York World's Fair and served as the centerpiece of the Maine exhibit in the Hall of States. Once it returned to Portland, it was displayed at the Columbia Hotel and the Portland City Hall before being placed at its present location on Temple Street in 1977.[1] In 2021, the Portland Press Herald described it as one of the most iconic landmarks in the city.[2] In July 2022, the animal rights non-profit People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to mayor Kate Snyder urging the city replace the sculpture with another sculpture showing a lobster crushing a trap.[3]
