In 81 years, St. Augustine resident James Edwin “Ed” Long told local Historic City News reporters that he has witnessed a lot of change in his hometown. From 1951 until the 1990’s, Long worked in the shrimping and shrimp boat building industry. Today, he is a keeper of that industry’s history and has worked long and hard to make sure it has received proper attention for its financial, global, and community contributions.
