Abstract:

Over one 100 years ago, wooden boats used along North Carolina's coasts and in the sounds followed a time-tested pattern. Many of them, including the sharpie, shad boat, and spritsail skiff, are being revived in the 20th-century by people who want to fish from a vessel that is part of the state's maritime heritage.
