| Keywords: blackandwhite monochrome outdoor black and white Tarring the seine, Greenfield Fishery, Chowan County, NC, c.1905 (N.2000.11.86). Before fishing the seine is run through a large kettle of boiling tar and water and then hung in the sun for several days to dry. This process renders it impervious to water. L-R: a fishing hand; Mr. Cook, the blacksmith from New York state; Frank Wood, owner of Greenfield Fishery and licensed engineer; and Charles Johnson, the clerk from Hertford. The clerk tallied the catch, recording numbers and varieties of fish. The clerk, the blacksmith, and the owner were usually the only white men in the fishery operation. Frank Wood held a steam engineer’s license. He took his engineer’s license exam in Norfolk VA. The boats used at the fishery could not be licensed or operated legally without a licensed engineer.
