Published in 2001, David S. Cecelski’s “The Waterman’s Song: Slavery and Feeedom in Maritime North Carolina” is a compelling book about the lives of slave and free black fishermen, pilots, river men, sailors, and other laborers in our region. In fact, this was the first major study of slavery in the maritime South. If you’re a researcher or a history reader interested in this region and the era, you’ll be pulled in by the challenges these workers faced, but also enlightened to learn about the remarkable maritime work culture and democratic ideals they fostered.

The book is available in our gift shop, open through December 6.

It's never too early to start looking for holiday gifts. Come see what we've got!
