Matthew Barr interviewed Patricia Huie for the Wild Caught project. Patricia Huie, who has lived in Richlands, North Carolina, for sixteen years, serves as the Collections Manager for the Onslow County Museum. She started at the museum as a part-time registrar and eventually evolved into her current role, which combines artifact registration with curatorial and research responsibilities. In the interview, Huie discusses her educational background, which includes a Bachelor of Arts degree in History from the University of North Carolina Wilmington in 1986, followed by graduate studies in American Studies and Museum Studies at East Carolina University. Her work primarily involves the management and documentation of the museum's collections, which span various historical aspects of Onslow County. Huie provides a historical overview of Onslow County, focusing on its settlement and development. She explains that white settlement in the area began around 1713, following the defeat of the Tuscarora Indians. Early settlers engaged primarily in farming and the naval stores industry, with fishing serving as a supplementary activity. Huie highlights the prominence of the New River oyster industry in the late 19th century, noting its rise to fame due to the high quality and size of the oysters, which garnered accolades as far as Boston. However, the industry faced a significant setback due to a devastating hurricane in 1899, which filled the oyster beds with mud and silt, effectively ending large-scale investment in oyster farming in the area. Throughout the interview, Huie reflects on the evolving dynamics between commercial and sport fishing, the latter gaining popularity among wealthy businessmen in the early 20th century. She discusses the competitive tensions that arose as sport fishing increasingly impacted the livelihoods of local fishermen. Huie also touches on the cultural significance of maritime activities in Onslow County, emphasizing the close-knit nature of fishing communities and their enduring heritage.
