The Crescent Oyster Company 1904–1957

I'm fascinated by this - the remains of The Crescent Oyster Company 1904–1957. I see this on my daily trek with the camera.

And this second photo is for context and perspective. I apologize for there being no real focus to the photo. I wanted to give you a different vantage point so you can understand what you're seeing. The train in the background was fun though.

To give you an even better idea of what these pilings look like, I took another photo so you could see how many there are.

No points for composition or image quality; this is all about exposition.
The white bridge-like structure is an elevated train trestle, and the buildings behind that are for boat storage at a marina.

Another angle. The stone building is a pumphouse and is unrelated to the old oyster farm.

There are still oysters in this area.
Washed ashore and worn by time. This oyster shell carries the ocean’s memory in every ridge and barnacle. Taken just after sunrise.
