A: I'm Jim Banagan. I live at Abell on St. Clement's Bay in the Seventh District. I have worked around the river most of my life, the first ten years, as a boy living while I was going to school to make a few dollars. Crabbing in the summer, oystering in the winter from the time about ten to twenty, then I ... First, when I was ten years old, I used to go out in the river with my father. He was a waterman. My grandfather was a waterman, and his father was a waterman. I used to go out and help him cull oysters. And as I grew a little older, I started having a skiff and a boat of my own, and I tonged oysters then, they were plentiful and you could catch 'em right around the shores. What they called nippering, you had a boat with a little set of tongs, nippers they called 'em. You could catch one oyster at a time when the water was clear, and I used to do that to get money for to buy treats, have a few dollars to spend at school. And high school, I had money to buy clothes and go out, because watermen were having a rough time back in the forties and although the oysters were plentiful, they weren't bringing nothing but a dollar a bushel.
