Great video! Im a Virginia waterman on the other side of the Chesapeake. Been dredging and shaft tonging oysters for years. Crazy to think how much trouble these shellfish have caused over 150 years and still cause today
My grandfather participated in these wars.
Thanks for your video.
Great history lesson Kate! Thanks!
I'm researching for a novel about the oyster wars and picked up your book from the Museum of Industry. Thanks for sharing!
Great points
thanks for this bad ass video! i got to visit the bmi someday soon.
Could you imagine what the Chesapeake look like when Captain John Smith sailed up at clears bathwater oysters oyster beds coming out of the water
Wonderful story.
Damn near pick the Chesapeake Bay clean of all oysters. Can somebody bring me one
Cool stuff, thanks for sharing
My family owned an oyster company in Baltimore right around that period. I wonder if they took part in any of that. Interesting to think about.
Watermen will still take a shot at you if they think your going for their crab pots
It still happens, just happened recently in maine and kent island
@@Roadtripmik I see your having trouble understanding past/present tense - I said “will” as in still happening and continues to happen. There are enough boats on the water rented by idiots out on their first boating trip in the bay that disregard and break the laws to steal your equipment and catch with abandonment, which makes it so the watermen have the right to shoot at thief after their entire livelihood.
@@rudyrudelaemmerhirt The government has fish and game departments and coast guard to deal with that
Kate’s a total babe
Really. She sure seems so, eh?
