Project Rewind- Talbot County: Trappe, Maryland circa 1940-1959. This Cannery on Trappe Landing Road burned down in the 1950’s and is now the site of Dickerson’s boatyard. The baskets on Reckless are filled with tomatoes. Does anyone remember anything about this cannery?? According to R. Lee Burton,Jr. Author of “Canneries of the Eastern Shore” there were about 250 canneries on the Eastern Shore in 1920 and it was the principal manufacturing industry on the Delmarva Peninsula from 1880-1950’s.
