Description
One reel to reel recording. Fishing Gear Construction workshop: Folklorist Taylor interviewed the fishers about various fishing equipment, and how they made them. Because Lerios did not speak English very well (a Greek immigrant from Tarpon Springs), his grandson Toth often spoke for him. The folklife area in 1987 focused on Maritime folklife, which stemmed from Taylor's work on the 1986 Maritime Heritage Project, and cooperative project between the FFP and the Library of Congress.
