Historically, shrimp boats have been an essential part of Gulf Coast culture, working tirelessly through the night to bring in “pink gold” before anchoring at sunrise to prepare for the next voyage. Their legacy was famously spotlighted in the movie Forrest Gump, further cementing their place in American popular culture. This OMH model celebrates the hardworking spirit of these vessels while serving as a striking nautical display piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
