Abstract:

Retired fisherman Neal “Nicky” Harvey was inspired to put his crab pots to another good use: as foundation for artificial Christmas trees. This decoration is perhaps something only an individual from a fishing village could have created. Sold to a Smyrna businessman and revamped as an online venture, this Carteret County native’s merchandise has found appeal the world over, from countries such as Japan.
