| Keywords: blackandwhite monochrome outdoor black and white Fishery houses at Greenfield Fishery, Chowan County, NC, c.1905 (N.2000.11.91). In the middle is the residence of the owner, Frank Wood. It was called The Office because its living room was used as the office for Greenfield Fishery. At the right is the north end of the shelter. At the left is the home’s detached kitchen. The photographer took this photo from the land-end roping boat which was on its way to its station at the land-end engine house. Captain Mack Towe, captain of the land-end steam flat, the Greenfield, is shown center talking to men in the water. Captain Towe had a memorably loud voice and he is directing the roper to untoggle the seine, which meant to untie the toggles that bound the seine to the rope. When the seine came close enough to land to be handled by men on the wharf, he called for the windlass to be stopped by using the words “Out Horse” which were a throwback to the time when the windlasses were powered by horses and not steam.
