Port Mahon 1/2
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.

Birds
Port Mahon, Delaware
On the way out, some of the birds were starting to wake up. Not sure what the little fellas were, but there were lots of seagulls around. And the sun behind the clouds.
