Fish Friday The Atlantic spadefish is a flat, spade-shaped silver-grey medium-sized fish. The spadefish can grow up to 36 inches long and weigh up to 20 pounds. Locally these fish are probably best known as the inspiration behind the NC Aquariums’ logo. The largest Atlantic spadefish caught in North Carolina weighed 11 pounds and 3 ounces. The fish was caught off Hatteras Village in 2009 by Steven C. Chadwick. Image: Steven C. Chadwick with his state record spadefish. (Image courtesy NCDEQ). Image: North Carolina Aquariums logo. ...

On August 20, 1924, crew members from the U.S. Coast Guard Station Chicamacomico were each awarded the USCG Gold Lifesaving Medal for the rescue of survivors from the British tanker SS “Mirlo” six years earlier. On August 16, 1918, SS “Mirlo” was torpedoed by a German submarine, causing the ship to sink. By the time the Chicamacomico lifesaving crew—John A. Midgett Jr., Zion S. Midgett, Arthur V. Midgett, Leroy S. Midgett, Clarence E. Midgett, and Prochorus L. O’Neal— reached the seamen, nine already had died. The life savers brought the remaining six men to safety. . Image: Clarence E.

On August 19, 1862, Union troops led by Col. Thomas G. Stevenson burned a small Confederate fort on Huggins Island near Swansboro. Built in 1861 to protect local salt works and naval stores, the fort had already been abandoned. The company and the cannons were removed months earlier when Confederate troops left to join Brig. Gen. Lawrence O’B. Branch in New Bern. After the Union landing, the fort’s barracks and ammunition magazine were destroyed, leaving only the earthen embankments behind. Amazingly, those earthworks survived over 160 years of development and erosion. Today, this hidden piece of Civil War history is preserved on the island, part of Hammocks Beach State Park and accessible only by boat. Image: Brigadier General Thomas Greely Stevenson.
