Show Baltimore's Oyster Season. Oysters will not be plentiful until the middle of October, when the dredging season opens and the great oyster fleet, ' consisting of large schooners, pungies, bugeyes, etc., begins operations. A rushing business is then done about the retaii wharves, and the harbor front is alive with oyster merchants and men seeking employment. The lower harbor now is well filled with craft of every description waiting the opening of the dredging season, and the prospects are very bright. Baltimore News. |
