Tour to Feature Oyster Schooner

STONE HARBOR - A visit aboard the Martha Meerwald. a 65-foot Delaware Bay schooner at Bivalve owned by Capt. Fenton Anderson, who is both a planter and a harvester of bay oysters, will be part of a lecture and field trip program Saturday. The presentation, "Bivalve's Finest: South Jersey's Oystermen and their Schooners", begins at 9:30 a.m. in the Cumberland County Library in Bridgeton. It is the last in a series of six free lecture-tours presented prior to a full day bay conference which will explore the past, present and future of the Delaware Bay. TITLED "Man and Bay Together," the all-day session will be held Saturday. May 18. at Clayton Hall on the University of Delaware campus in Newark, just south of Wilmington. Del Captain Anderson, 72, will lead participants in the I field trip April 27 aboard the Martha Meerwald, his oyster schooner built in 1909 and converted from sail to power in 1945. Born in Bivalve, Anderson has been oystering for 50 years. He lives in Port Norris and says there are 35 to 40 oyster boats on the < Maurice River, none now under sail. "DURING WORLD War II. there weren't enough people left to man a sailboat for oyster harvest, and aCthat time, no seed oysterti could be removed except by sail. A law was passed to allow us to use power driven boats, and most switched to that. TheMartha has had her mast removed, too," explains Anderson. \ He is the only pysterman in Bivalvcconttfiuing to use a hand sorting method, and he will show mechanized sorting equipment aboard other boats as well as his system. THE OYSTER planting season is short now, deter mined by a light supply of ^eed and a committee of I state officials, oyster laboratory and shellfish council representatives. It used to begin the first of May. but will start on May 20 this year and will continue for two to five weeks "The oyster crop today is just fair — it's not good, not bad," says Anderson, wno feels that the MSX problem continues to hamper the production of Delaware Bay shellfish as much as ever, "but I'll keep on doing this until I can't," he grins with the enjoyment of an independent waterman. "BIVALVE'S Finest. South Jersey's Oystermen and their Schooners" will begin with a color slide presentation by Susan D'Ottavio at the Cumberland County library. Extension and outreach librarian there, she has presented both public and graduate courses for teachers on the oystermen of Delaware Bay. Luncheon Set NORTH WILD WOOD - The Golden Age Club of .Wildwood will hold a luncheon at its next regular meeting, noon Thursday, May 2, at the Moose Lodge hall, 314 Spruce Ave. here.
