Description
Please forgive me for not saying thank you to each comment. Believe me when I say that I appreciate each and every one of them more than you could know and I will hopefully return the gift over time by a visit to each of you to catch up with your work too. I'm so very grateful for the constant support I've received from all of you.
This image was taken in Bayou LaBatre, not that far from where I used to live for about 20 years. Seeing it, I was reminded of a song I used to hear on the radio when I was very young " Shrimp Boats Is A-Comin" - sung by Jo Stafford - a big hit in 1951. [I think I was born in the wrong generation]. I adore the music of the 40s and 50s and have all of Stafford's many hits]. Some of you may remember or perhaps have heard it on a PBS retrospective or something!
Shrimp boats is a-comin'
Their sails are in sight
Shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
Why don't-cha hurry, hurry, hurry home
Why don't-cha hurry, hurry, hurry home
Look here! The shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
Repeat refrain: Shrimp boats is a-comin'
(SLOWLY):
They go to sea with the evenin' tide
And their women folk wave their good-bye
(Ill sant vas... There they go)
While the Louisiana moon floats on high
And they wait for the day they can cry...
Refrain: Shrimp boats is a-comin'...
(SLOWLY):
Happy the days while they're mending the nets
'Til once more they ride high out to sea
(Ill sant vas... There they go)
Then how lonely the long nights will be
'Til that wonderful day when they see...
Refrain: Shrimp boats is a-comin'...
Bayou La Batre is located on the gulf coast in Mobile County, Alabama with a population of less than 3000. According to Wikipedia:
Bayou La Batre is a fishing village with a seafood-processing harbor for fishing boats and shrimp boats. The local Chamber of Commerce has described the city as the "Seafood Capital of Alabama" for packaging seafood from hundreds of fishing boats.
Bayou La Batre was the first permanent settlement on the south Mobile County mainland and was founded in 1786, when French-born Joseph Bouzage (Bosarge) [1733-1795] was awarded a 1,259-acre (509 ha) Spanish land grant on the West Bank of the bayou (see history below). The modern City of Bayou La Batre was incorporated in 1955.
Bayou La Batre was featured in the 1994 film Forrest Gump and the book upon which it is based. In April 2005, Disney Studios launched a secretly built pirate ship, the Black Pearl, out of Bayou La Batre for filming sequels to Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Bayou La Batre's seafood industry also serves as a centerpiece for the History channel's reality documentary series Big Shrimpin'.
