History

Established in 1956.

George and Gertrude Gascon, ten years in the military, were seeking to purchase property in Manset or Southwest Harbor to settle on after retirement from the U.S. Navy. Gertrude’s parents, John and Dorothy Dunbar, mentioned that Ogden’s lobster pound was for sale. Because George still had ten years left to serve until retirement, an agreement was made that the Dunbars would operate the lobster pound while George finished his Naval career. The Gascons purchased the business from the Ogdens in 1956. and the Dunbars ran the operation for the next decade. George and Gertrude, true to plan, moved back to Manset in 1966 after retiring from the Navy.

The Gascons and Dunbars worked together at Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound® for another ten seasons. In 1976 John and Dorothy Dunbar retired from full-​time work, at which time Anthony and Josette Pettegrow came into the business with Josette’s parents, the Gascons.
