Abstract:
Within the past twelve months, the Morehead City Shipbuilding Corporation has developed to the point where it is now building, selling, and delivering more fishing trawlers than any other coastal industry in the entire United States. The shipbuilder's delivery schedule calls for 125 trawlers a year -- which is more boats a year than are being built by the company's chief competitor. There are two standard trawlers; the Hatteras Trawler most often used for shrimping, and the Downeaster with a deckhouse in the back.

Abstract:
The capital of Carteret County has had a long history in the Crystal Coast. Dubbed Fish Town in the early 1700s, the town received its next moniker from John Motley Morehead in the 1850s. Incorporated as Morehead City in 1861, the town lives up to its original identity through its famous Blue Marlin Tournament, Seafood Festival, and Sanitary Fish Market and Restaurant.
