    • Our NC Coast’s History: The Herring Workers

      Coastal Review is featuring the work of North Carolina historian David Cecelski, who writes about the history, culture and politics of the North Carolina coast.

       

      Women gutting and heading herring at either the Perry-Belch or Cannons Ferry fishery, ca. 1937-41. Like so many women in those days, they’re using old fertilizer bags as aprons. Many a family came down to the river with that kind of fertilizer bag and carried salt herring home in them, too. Photo by Charles A. Farrell. Courtesy, State Archives of North Carolina
