"It's All I've Ever Known" | Life as a Rhode Island Clammer (full documentary)

Spend time offshore with Rhode Island's legendary Quahoggers, shellfishermen who dig clams from Narragansett Bay by hand, using metal rakes and brute strength. Meet three of these long-time Quahoggers on their boats, as they practice their centuries-old craft. With unique Rhode Island accents, they share the rewards and challenges of one of the few remaining jobs requiring no degree and no boss. QUAHOGGERS: RHODE ISLAND'S ICONIC SHELLFISERHMEN premieres Thursday, Oct. 8 (9 p.m. ET), right here on the GBH YouTube channel. At GBH, we love having the opportunity to highlight the people in our own community. This fall we’re putting an even bigger spotlight on the stories closest to home through GBH Local Lens.
