On this installment of The Shellfish Series we welcome Rob Garrison to the show.  Rob&apos;s name kept coming up at the top of our list of guests who could really shed some light on the early years of aquaculture on the island.  Him and Martin Ceely were the founding partners of the first oyster farm on Nantucket in the 1980&apos;s, and Rob was also integral in developing and constructing the first generation of the shellfish hatchery on Brant Point. Rob really takes the lead in talking about the early days on this topic and has some great stories mixed in as well.  I&apos;m really excited to now have this information on record and to be sharing it with you all.  Also joining the conversation is my colleague Renee Ceely who really established this connection and also our friend Samantha Denette from the Nantucket Shellfish Association. Many thanks to all who helped on this and I hope you enjoy! Production, Editing and Music by Evan Schwanfelder © Egan Maritime Institute, 2023

The Shellfish Series Episode One: The Pioneers

We’ve got something a bit different for you all on this episode, and I’m excited to see what you all think about this one. This past fall we were coming up with program ideas to get people out to the museum in the off season. One that we wanted to try was a live quiz show centered on Nantucket with a maritime theme. Styled after a few different radio quiz show formats, we had a panel of guests, audience participation and a series of trivia games. Thus, the “Salty Dog Showcase Trivia Show” was born. At first I was a bit unsure about how this would go, but on the evening of March 23 rd we had a full house of enthusiastic guests and a great time was had by all! Special thanks to our partner 97.7 ACK FM for getting the word out and helping to pull this off and to everyone who contributed to such a special evening. I hope you enjoy! Special Thanks goes out to... 97.7 ACK FM and Doug Risher Capt.

Salty Dog Showcase Trivia Show

Part Two of the South Shore Shipwreck Series.  Since the release of part one, a significant new wreck fragment has been uncovered roughly 1,000 ft west of the original site.  Based on new clues, yet to be discussed publicly, can we conclude, beyond a shadow of doubt, that these are the remains of the Warren Sawyer?  Join host Evan Schwanfelder as he sits down and does a deep dive with Massachusetts Underwater Archeologist, David Robinson, who gives his expert analysis on the potential identity of these pieces and what both of them reveal from an archeological point of view.  Special thanks to David Robinson and the Massachusetts Board of Underwater Archeological Resources Written, Edited and Produced by Evan Schwanfelder Music by Evan Schwanfelder © Egan Maritime Institute, 2023
