Brown Bag Gam: Rise and Fall of the Morehead City Shipbuilding Corp.

In the 1950s, during North Carolina’s shrimping boom, the Morehead City Shipbuilding Corp. grew rapidly due to the success of its Hatteras Trawlers. Its rate of growth, however, was unsustainable and eventually collapsed exposing a flawed business model and business practices. Join North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort Curator David Bennett to learn about the “Rise and Fall of the Morehead City Shipbuilding Corp.”
