Abstract:

When Ocracoke Island's last fish house closed, not only were fishermen affected but also the island's culture and way of life. The Ocracoke experience was one more example of what has been happening to traditional waterfront activities along North Carolina's coastline in recent years. A way of life has been fading behind shiny new condos and marina developments. Smith describes how the island's citizens responded to the loss of the last fish house.
