Pommes de Mer

Those are sweet potatoes. Oystering is only done in the winter and in the summer oyster boats of whatever flavor would haul light freight when they could get the business.

[Now that you mention it, they certainly do look like potatoes. - Dave]

Looks like the boats are carrying some sort of potato-like vegetable.
