Theiss is a fictional adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Alec Cunningham, a young man who seeks a fresh start after losing his parents and sets out to find his uncle in the New Jersey oyster industry. Set against the backdrop of the bustling and often harsh world of oystering, the novel explores themes of resilience, friendship, and the hard realities of life at sea. The opening of the story introduces Alec as he arrives at the oyster shipping center of Bivalve, looking for work. He encounters Captain Christopher Bagley aboard the oyster boat "Bertha B", who hires him after a brief interview. Alec's initial challenges are compounded by the revelation that his uncle has likely drowned, forcing him to adapt quickly to the demands of life on the water. As he navigates his new role, he grapples with the realities of the oyster business, ultimately aiming to rise above his circumstances while forming bonds with the crew. The vivid descriptions bring to life the preparations for a day's work on the boat, providing readers with an immersive experience into the maritime culture.
