Fish Friday!
A first of a kind display on our fisheries for the State Fair...
On this day in 1921 The Independent out of Elizabeth City described an exhibit on North Carolina's fishery resources that would be on display at the Elizabeth City Fair October 4 through the 7th. The exhibit, set up by the State's Fisheries Commission Board, then went to the State Fair for display. It contained maps of oystering grounds, where certain species of fish thrive, and where certain fishing operations occur in North Carolina's coastal waters. Actual specimens would be available and displayed in glass cases with ice. They were to be procured from Bogue Sound, Core Sound, and the Beaufort Inlet vicinity. Species displayed included oysters, clams, shrimp, scallops, diamondback terrapins, and many finfish. The specimens would be restocked as their conditioned deteriorated. Other items that were on display are listed in this segment from the article. ... See MoreSee Less
