Abstract:

Although of short duration, the shark skin industry in North Carolina centered in Morehead city at the Ocean Leather Company in October 1918. Following suit, other sharkskin factories opened in New Jersey, and Florida, spurring the New York owners of the Ocean Leather Company to open a second location in North Carolina's Bogue Sound.
