White Gold: Delaware’s Oyster Industry. Area filmmaker, Michael Oates, returns to this film screening series with a sharply focused documentary about our changing coastal life. Leipsic, Little Creek and Bowers Beach were once flourishing aquaculture communities, relying on huge harvests of Delaware Bay oysters, called “white gold”. Schooners sailed the bay dredging as many as 900,000 bushels annually. Today, the annual oyster harvest is less than 15,000 bushels and all but one of the schooners is gone. Yet the commercial watermen endure. Oate’s film captures this history alongside the story of one man’s struggle to bring the last wooden schooner back to its former glory….running time is 60 minutes.

Former State Archivist Russ McCabe will present those characteristics that gave the two towns their own cultures and those that they share.
