| Introduction | The A. J. Meerwald is a Delaware Bay oyster schooner, a vessel that evolved to meet the needs of the local oyster fishery. Launched in 1928, the A. J. Meerwald was one of hundreds of schooners built along South Jersey's Delaware Bayshore before the decline of the shipbuilding industry that coincided with the Great Depression. Currently the AJ Meerwald is owned and operated by the Bayshore Discovery Project. A non-profit organization striving to motivate people to take care of the environment, the history and the culture of New Jersey's bayshore region through education, preservation and example. |
