by Salisbury University Students (1992)

1 folder (0.1 linear feet)

In 1992, former Salisbury University student R. Erik Windrow collected folk material. His collection pertains to a commercial fishing harbor in Ocean City, Maryland. During his fieldwork, Erik Windrow observed some common details about these fishermen, including their dress code, the way they unload their catches, etc. He also documented the regulations for each type of boat (clammers, long-liners, and pot boats). The student interviewed Alan Douglas Ake, the owner of a marine shop who supplies materials to the local fishermen. The latter told several personal narratives about the life at the harbor. Photographs enclosed.
