TUCKERTON SEAPORT RECEIVES CAUSEWAY’S 50TH ANNIVERSARY GRANT By Kaitlyn Strohmeier
In Celebration of The Causeway Family of Dealerships 50th anniversary, we continue with our yearlong campaign - Causeway’s 50 Golden Acts of Good - to help our neighbors and positively impact Ocean County. Anchoring this campaign is the Grant Giveaway program, through which Causeway awards a $10,000 grant to one Ocean County nonprofit every month, from January through November of 2019, culminating next December with the award of a New Ford Transit Connect Van. We are proud to announce our August $10,000 grant winner, the Tuckerton Seaport. Originally known as the Barnegat Bay Decoy and Baymen’s Museum, the Tuckerton Seaport & Baymen’s Museum has evolved into a coastal cultural destination located along historic Tuckerton Creek in Tuckerton, New Jersey. Tuckerton Seaport’s 40acre site includes 17 historic and recreated buildings connected by a boardwalk, wetlands nature trail, two houseboats, a decoy gallery, a working boatworks building in which restoration of sneakbox designs of the Barnegat Bay occurs, a historic marine railway, decoy carving workshops and the recreated Tucker’s Island Lighthouse. Daily demonstrators and traditional artists bring the Jersey Shore’s rich coastal heritage to life. The Seaport will be celebrating 20 years in 2020. The Tuckerton Seaport hosts about 6,000 school kids per year! They will be using this grant to upkeep their new ferry and help schools with field trips to the Seaport. The new ferry not only provides transportation to and from the Seaport, but is a great learning tool. They call it the “floating classroom”. This ferry started its boat tours in 2018 and is always sold out!

Docents/Tour Leaders
Docent might sound unfamiliar to you, as it does to many, but the word has been around for many years. A docent (the word being derived from the Latin word ducere, meaning to lead) is the term has been expanded to designate the corps of volunteer guides who staff many of the museums and other educational institutions in the world. Docents are educators, trained to further the public’s understanding of the cultural and historical collections of the institution. In many cases, docents, in addition to their prescribed function as guides, also conduct research utilizing the institution’s facilities. Prospective docents and tour leaders of the Tuckerton Seaport undergo a training process. You will also learn more about communication and interpretive skills and be introduced to the institution’s collection and its historical significance. At the Seaport you will be provided with tools and reading lists to add to the basic information provided during training, and will then shadow experienced docents as they give their tours before ultimately conducting a tour on your own. Docents are kept up-to-date with continuous training and seminars.
The Tuckerton Seaport Internship experience is designed to allow students to combine theory with practice while interacting with professional staff, volunteers and visitors. Internships are available in the following areas: Collections, Development, Education, Folklife, Marketing, Public Relations, Special Events and Volunteer Services. For more information on Tuckerton Seaport’s internship opportunities contact Brooke Salvanto at 609-296-8868 Or send your resume to: brookes@ tuckertonseaport.org

The Tucker’s Island Lighthouse features exhibits on privateers and pirates of the Jersey Coast, Tuckerton designated as a Port of Entry at the start of a new nation for receipt and departure of intra and international trade and travel, the origins of the U.S. Life Saving Service, shipwrecks and the Jersey Shore’s first resort. Tuckerton Seaport is also home to the Jersey Shore Folklife Center (JSFC). The JSFC researches, documents, supports and presents the diverse communities and traditions of the Jersey Shore and the Pinelands. The Center presents folk art programs and exhibits at Tuckerton Seaport and manages the artist roster and guest demonstrator schedule, the Folk and Traditional Artist in Residence Program, the Jersey Traditions outreach program and changing artist exhibits in J.C. Parker’s Decoy workshop. JSFC celebrates the profoundly creative spirit of the region, its traditional arts, and its occupational and recreational folklife. The Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve Interpretive Center (JCNERR) and its “Life on the Edge” exhibit, housed in the Tuckerton Yacht Club at the seaport, are managed by the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The Borough of Tuckerton and Tuckerton Creek is located in one of the least disturbed places on the northeast coast of the United States. The Reserve encompasses habitat in and around the estuary where fresh water from the Mullica River and saltwater from the Atlantic Ocean mix in the Great Bay. Named for the famed Ocean Explorer Jacques Cousteau, the reserve conducts scientific research, hosts a variety of education and interpretive programs and encourages stewardship of these unique natural resources. At the “Life on the Edge” exhibit, visitors can go back in time to explore New Jersey’s environmental past, present and future within the Jacques Cousteau National Estuary. Dive into an amazing experience that takes you through the Pinelands, Great Bay, Barrier Island and Open Ocean ecosystems that make up this pristine natural reserve.
Blacksmith’s Shop
Once you walk out of the Visitors Center and approach the boardwalk, you will see our new blacksmith shop where you can feel the heat of the forge, hear the metal striking iron, and see useful and artistic pieces being forged out of fire and metal. There have been blacksmith shops in our town for over 100 years. The 1895 Sanborn map of our town shows a blacksmith shop next door to our current location. Blacksmith programming will add to the story we tell of how people lived and worked on the Barnegat Bay and in the Pinelands. Stephen Nuttall, local blacksmith and Seaport volunteer explains, “Our blacksmith shop will serve as an example of folk art that is important to our history. Not only is it vital to keep traditional folklife alive through exhibitions, demonstrating inspires others to continue this tradition.” A blacksmith shop will reengage returning guests and encourage a new audience to visit and learn.
