From earliest times to today, people have harvested the rich bounty of Delaware's waters and wetlands.  This special exhibition at the Delaware History Museum explores the history and culture of the waterman's life from the eighteenth century to present-day Delawareans.  Come and learn how crabs, oysters, shad, and even whales have been part of Delaware's story.
