The Essex Shipbuilding Museum (MA) has created a project to replicate a vintage clamming skiff and clam harvest basket. The basket part of the project calls for reproducing one of the original baskets from the area and teaching several classes for the community.
The new basket (shown above) is made with #12 gauge galvanized wire woven with white oak from near the museum.
Here’s an article, Reviving a Clamming Tradition, regarding the project in the Gloucester Daily Times.
