Oyster Fishing at Whitstable, England (c.1909)
Bibs at the ready for this documentary showing the journey of the oyster from seabed to dinner plate. We see the oyster smacks (fishing vessels used for trawling) hauling in their plunder, the shellfish being packed for delivery to London and, inevitably, being shucked with gusto by a restaurant's portly clientele.
The film was shot in Whitstable, a seaside town known as the Pearl of Kent for its famous oysters. Beady-eyed viewers may spot prolific early film producer Charles Urban sampling the oysters in the beach footage, squatting on the right. (Alex Davidson)
(This is a higher-quality version of a video first published on YouTube in February 2008.)

OYSTER SMACK RACE - COLOUR
The past rivalry between the Oystermen of Kent and Essex to get the first Oysters to Market, today takes the form of a Race. The Smacks, wonderful sailing-craft built before the turn of the century, race for five hours from Gravesend to the Pool of London.

The annual Thames Oyster Smack Race from Gravesend to Billingsgate was won by the smack 'Shamrock' skippered by architect Brian Thomas. This race re-enacts the upstream dash that used to take place in bygone days to get the oysters to market.
