  Shucking oysters, it would appear. See www.slow-guides.com/beaufort/oyster-your-world-visit-grea... which mentions the Maggioni Canning Co.

  ebamismoi: You might enjoy looking at "Mornings on Maple Street," www.morningsonmaplestreet.com/lewishine.html The web site author, Joe Manning, has found several descendants of the children shown in Hine's photos and wrote about "what became of them."
