Oyster of the year winner at the Maine Oyster Festival. About the festival
Bigelow Bight is the large open bay extending between Cape Small, ME and Cape Ann, MA in the Gulf of Maine. It was named in honor of Henry Bryant Bigelow (1879-1967), a pioneering oceanographer. His extensive work from 1912-1922 exploring and studying the Gulf of Maine aboard the US Fisheries Service schooner “Grampus,” was to lay the foundation for much of contemporary oceanography.
