Abstract:

From the 1930s, George Gray's family has run the oldest fish house in Avon. In the early years of the fishing industry, fishing was steady and so was the price, and Mr. Gray's family sold to numerous fish companies over the years. But now, fishing goes up and down, and the prices changes rapidly, especially for seasonal fish like crabs.

Abstract:

When Captain Ernal Foster came back from service in World War II, he wanted to bring together the charter business and his family's love of fishing. Foster was the first to start the charter fishing business on Hatteras Island, and as time progressed more people started coming to the business. As business and publicity spread, Foster's one boat grew into a fleet--the famous Albatross Fleet.
