Summary:
Captures the stories that swim in the salty souls of shrimpers who made their living fishing the waters of the Atlantic. Author and researcher Beverly Bowers Jennings spent a decade interviewing shrimpers and others associated with commercial shrimping to produce permanent exhibits for the Port Royal Sound Maritime Center and the Coastal Discovery Museum on Hilton Head . This work served as the start for "Shrimp Tales," a book that shows the old ways of shrimping evolving to the modern day. It reads not so much like a comprehensive history, but something tastier than that - a few good stories, some compelling insights, a collection of fascinating facts, some recipes, illustrations of tools of the trade and over 470 photographs
