Ten contact sheets with 357 photographic black and white images; plus logs and negatives. Images of the Herrin brothers building a shrimp boat over a six month period. The boat was christened Miss Joann. Images of the boat in use may be found in S 1577, v. 44, S88-1 - S88-146. Between 1986 and 1987, a partnership between the Florida Folklife Program and the American Folk Center created the Maritime Heritage Survey Project. Focusing on the Gulf and Atlantic fishing cultures, and utilizing photographs, slides, oral histories, and on-site interviews, the survey climaxed with a demonstration area at the 1987 Florida Folk Festival. The three main researchers were Nancy Nusz, Merri Belland, and project director David Taylor. Additional information on the project can be found in Taylor's project files in S 1716.
