From Berwick Bay to Étouffée: Shrimping in Louisiana

During the 1930s and 1940s, Morgan City dubbed itself the official "Shrimp Capital of the World." In a new exhibition at the Wedell-Williams Aviation & Cypress Sawmill Museum, titled From Berwick Bay to Étouffée: Shrimping in Louisiana, this boom era is explored in artifacts and images from the collection of F.C. "Butch" Felterman Jr., a native of Patterson and former shrimp boat owner and captain. Free, and open to the public. louisianastatemuseum.org.
