Hi..wonder if any historians out there know anything about this. Someone told me in WWII there were of course blackouts, especially on the coast, and the oysters often have to be picked at night. He implied rather than said that his mother was involved in this...I will be asking him again for confirmation, especially since I have written a song about this, but as I ask other people in the oyster trade, some say it was impossible, some say they never heard of it..One man who works with me at the Interpretive Center says it is true and they honked them back home with their cars. The mud here is really bad mud you can sink in, so it is incomprehensible to me doing it at night with no light..and bad storms, fog etc. Has anyone any knowledge of this in Washington or other oystering areas?
