Now that the area’s docking floats are mostly in the water, we’ll take a look at the three major floats to tie up boats in Brooklin, each of which has a distinctive character. Below, you see the Town float at Nakeag Harbor, which mostly hosts the skiffs used by lobstermen to get out to their boats in the Harbor.
