SUMMARY:Film Screening: Stories from Delaware Bay's Maritime Heritage
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon of documentary films celebrating Delaware Bay’s maritime heritage. \nFilm Screening: Stories from Delaware Bay’s Maritime Heritage\nJoin us for an afternoon screening of three short documentary films exploring the history\, people\, and traditions that shaped New Jersey’s Delaware Bay oyster industry. \n\n\n\nSchooners on the Bay\nThis 1984 documentary tells the story of the wooden schooners once used to dredge oysters under sail on the Delaware Bay. Follow two restored New Jersey oyster schooners as they begin a second life carrying passengers as Windjammers in Maine. The film features interviews with former oyster captains\, historians\, and Windjammer captains and was originally distributed by New Jersey Network. \nOn the Shellpile\nProduced nearly 40 years later by the Bayshore Center at Bivalve and filmmaker Keith Wasserman\, this powerful documentary shares the story of the African American communities that formed around South Jersey’s thriving oyster industry. Through firsthand accounts\, the film explores the lives\, families\, faith\, and resilience of those who lived and worked “on the Shellpile.” \nChanging Tides\nProduced and directed by Keith Wasserman\, Changing Tides explores why the Maurice River Cove was once known as the “Oyster Capital of the World.” Through interviews with local watermen\, historians\, scientists\, and community members\, the film preserves the stories of the people\, boats\, and traditions that defined the Delaware Bay’s maritime heritage. \nThese films offer a fascinating look at the history\, culture\, and people who built one of New Jersey’s most important maritime communities. \nEvent Details\n📅 Date: Wednesday\, July 15. 2026 \n🕑 Time: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM \n📍 Location: Bayshore Center at Bivalve \n🎟 Admission: \n\nFree for members\n$7 for non-members (paid upon arrival)\n\n🍿Popcorn will be provided. \nPlan Your Visit\nThe Bayshore Center at Bivalve is located along the Delaware Bay and offers a unique setting to experience local history\, culture\, and maritime heritage. \nWe encourage guests to arrive a few minutes early to get settled and enjoy the space before the screening begins.
