Description
"Fernandina Beach, once a haven for pirates, became one of the most productive shrimping and fishing centers in the Southeast. Shrimping evolved into a modern commercial industry in Fernandina in the early 1900s with the use of powered boats to pull the shrimp seine across the ocean floor. The real boom in Fernandina’s shrimping industry came in 1913 when the otter trawl was used to catch shrimp in deeper waters where the concentration was the heaviest." (freshfromflorida)
