Oysters & Origins: Black History on the Half Shell

Marine Park

Taste Brooklyn's forgotten waterfront history as Ben "Moody" Harney shucks oysters and shares the untold story of Black oystermen who powered the industry in the 1800s. Historic tools, rare Lott family artifacts, and briny tales bring this hidden chapter to life at a former Underground Railroad stop.
