My Life as a Clammer on the Great South Bay

Join Steve Kuhn, Sayville resident and author of Hard Work: My Life as a Clammer on the Great South Bay, whose career as a bayman has spanned over 55 years.

Join Steve Kuhn, Sayville resident and author of Hard Work: My Life as a Clammer on the Great South Bay, whose career as a bayman has spanned over 55 years. Steve will share personal experiences and interesting stories from decades of working full-time on the water. His accounts pay homage to freedom, solitude, fresh air, competition, being your own boss, and the power of Mother Nature. But above all, they’re joyful retellings of the clamming lifestyle and hard work! Steve is also the creator of the Clam Power T-Shirts made famous in the 1970s and later trademarked and reintroduced in the 2000s. Registration required. Books and Clam Power merch will be available for purchase.
