Around here we consider an oyster boat carrying a 6-pack of Bud to be

In reality, it isn't the boats that matter; it is the loss of more
industrial jobs.
The job losses are unfortunate. But weren't you also questioning the
justification of big, high fuel usage boats recently? Weren't you in
favor of a big tax on use and/or ownership of larger boats because they
used more fuel than you thought reasonable? Seems to me that your own
bias leads to job losses as well.
You can't have it both ways.

Sure you can, if you start making "green" manufactured products that serve
the transportation needs of the populace. That way, skilled workers can
find new jobs that pay family supporting wages with benefits.
You've been listening to BObama too much. He preaches the same kind of
non-specific rhetoric.
