Art Daniels Jr., captain of the skipjack called City of Crisfield sits in his crab shedding house and talks about the first time he went oystering.
CAPTAIN ART DANIELSNow when I started oystering on the dredge boat, when I went out with my father on a Saturday, he'd take us out, take out my younger brother and me on the boat.
CAPTAIN ART DANIELSOnce in a while he would let me steer, you know, and I got that thrill of the boat coming alive, when you touch that wheel and that wind's in the sail. . . . And I just wanted to do that.

CAPTAIN ART DANIELSMy father did this, and all my people, and then I started as a little boy myself and I fell in love with the water. You're free on the water. That was about it.
