Shedding crabs the old way. Crab floats on a rack drying out so
they could be used again. Then photo on right shows how those
floats which held crabs that would shed their shells & become
soft crabs & had to be "fished up" or taken from those floats
before they became hard again. Great memories of this process!
FYI - Museum will be open tomorrow, Sat. May 16th from 11:00 to
3:00 and Sunday from 12:00 to 4:00.
