Thanks for your recent email. The Miss Doxsee did not belong to my company, Doxsee Sea Clam Co. of Point Lookout, NY. If I remember right she was built by Eric Kirkberg of Wildwood, N.J. back in the 1960s. She was a stern rigged sea clam dredger that provided surf clams to Doxsee Foods which was then shucking and canning clams in Lewes, Delaware.
In those says their general offices were in Baltimore, MD. Today they operate in Cape May, NJ, and go by the corporate name of SNOWDOXSEE Inc. I'm not sure if Eric or Doxsee Co. owned the boat. Eric did operate it and the clams went to Doxsee. The clams were landed at Wildwood and went across the Delaware Bay to Lewes by trailer truck and ferry. That's about all I know about it.
Best regards,
Bob Doxsee
