Abstract:

Workboats in the Core Sound region of North Carolina are linked to families, communities, local landscapes, and the types of fishing that the region offers. On March 1, 2008, a symposium and photographic exhibit celebrates the role and importance of the area’s historic workboats. The public event will present talks by Core Sound fishermen, historians, and writers on the cultural heritage of the area’s fishing vessels.
