Port Mahon, Delaware
Spent some time this morning in the Little Creek Deli talking to a fella who worked down in one of the Port Mahon oyster shucking houses as his first job when he came back from the war. According to him, this concrete slab used to be the largest oyster shucking house in Delaware, with 90 shuckers working from August to April. They’d load the cans into wooden barrels, put the barrels on a truck, and drive them up to Dover and load them on a freight train.
