Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oyster Dredgers of Whitstable Very little is really known of the history and surroundings of the fishermen whose lives are spent in cultivating the Whitstable oyster. It is true they do not have to seek their living far from home, and for that reason are not shrouded in quite so much romantic mystery as their brethren of the herring fleet, or the deep sea trawler. Yet the dredger, who works along a few miles of the coast, frequently encounters as much peril in his lively smack, as those who have to face it in deeper water and larger boats. This small volume lays no claim to being an exhaustive account of the Whitstable industry, though it may, perhaps, add a little fresh information for those who are interested in oysters, and more especially in the "Royal Whitstable Native." My thanks are specially due to Mr. W. H. Reeves, of Whitstable, for nearly all the photographs used as illustrations, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
