The Management of Free and Enslaved Laborers in North Carolina’s Antebellum Shad and Herring Fishery

February 22 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Free

Plantations that bordered coastal North Carolina’s creeks, rivers, and sounds often possessed fisheries that were operated by both free and enslaved peoples. While a few studies have provided some insights into the functioning of these fisheries, no one has analyzed labor management at them. Drawing on a wealth of sources, this presentation seeks to describe and contextualize the labor management system at North Carolina’s antebellum shad and herring fisheries.

The program is part of our Maritime Heritage Series, informal lectures held in the museum auditorium and focused on North Carolina’s rich maritime history, coastal environment, and culture. Admission is free, and registration is not required.
