About
Shrimp Boat City is an illustrated essay about St. Augustine's strong connection to commercial shrimping and boatbuilding. Not only did St. Augustine serve as a center for commercial shrimping from 1922 until the early 1950s, the ancient city became the trawler-building capital of the world and by 1990 thousands of locally built trawlers were fishing the world over. Contributing to over 23 foreign fleets and participating in many important fisheries, St. Augustine's trawlers became known as productive, safe, and reliable boats. Stories and pictures from this industry are presented here to tell the tale of an American epic, the halcyon days of fishing and boatbuilding in St. Augustine.
