About This Book

A young wireless operator joins an oyster fleet and learns both the practical work of oystering and methods of oyster culture while applying wireless technology to solve problems. He encounters crew shortages, storms, dangers at sea, and industrial secrets, studies planting and dredging, confronts setbacks and a crisis that threatens the enterprise, and ultimately helps establish improvements that save the venture. Along the way the narrative explains oyster-planting techniques, fleet life, and the consequences of wasteful harvesting, combining adventure with practical instruction about conservation and maritime technology.
