about the Cover
We are continuing our theme this Bar year of commemorating important historic industries in Florida, and highlighting the
commercial fishing industry in this issue. The photo of the cover shows shrimp boats docked at a Panama City Beach marina
in the mid-20th Century. The photo was taken by photographer Jerry Francis Simon. He was the photographic director for the
Florida Development Commission and was assigned to former Governor Claude Kirk as his personal photographer. There was a
boom in Florida’s shrimping industry in the 1940s and ’50s, as the population of the state increased dramatically after World War II,
and demand for shrimp around the country increased. In its heyday, the Florida industry involved thousands of people around
the state, with tons of shrimp being caught in Florida waters and shipped to restaurants and dinner tables around the world via
the railroad and the growing interstate road system.
