摘要

During March and April, 1984, investigations of the M/V Fox, an historic boat at Larose on the bank of Bayou Lafourche in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, were undertaken in order to evaluate its eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. Archival and historical source research; oral history; and, fieldwork comprising photographic recordation, preparation of line drawings, and detailed inspection of the vessel were performed. As a result of these investigations, it was determined that the M/V Fox fulfills the criteria for nomination to and inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. Recommendations concerning mitigation alternatives were made.
