Oystering from New York to Boston

Southern New England was once one of the world's great oyster-producing areas. In this detailed study, Kochiss traces the rise and decline of the oyster industry and the specialized boats and techniques that developed from colonial times through the turn of the twentieth century when oystering was a multimillion-dollar fishery. This book is beautifully designed, packaged in a slipcase, and contains a wealth of period photographs and engravings.Kochiss, John M. is the author of 'Oystering from New York to Boston' with ISBN 9780819540744 and ISBN 0819540749.
