Feral FridayAre the Shackleford horses “feral” or “wild”?Feral means their ancestors were once domesticated; “wild” means they live untamed. Both apply to the Banker Ponies of Shackleford Banks.These Colonial Spanish–descended horses have roamed the 9‑mile barrier island for centuries. See them on the Maritime Museum’s “Hiking and History on Shackleford Banks” trip—ferry ride included! Next hikes will be on September 22 and October 20. See the museum’s website for more details.Keep at least 50 feet away, don’t feed or touch them, and keep pets leashed. Federal protections keep the herd safe. ... See MoreSee Less

On September 3, 1913, during a hurricane, the ship “George W. Wells,” the first six masted schooner ever built, would wreck off Ocracoke. The remains of “George W. Wells,” would resurface on the local beach for generations making the story of this ship as much history as local lore. Everyone on board the 345-foot ship, plus a St. Bernard, were rescued in a dramatic storm near Hatteras Inlet. Image: “George W. Wells,” circa 1900. (Image courtesy San Francisco Public Library).

On September 2, 1942, Coastal Patrol (CAP) Base 21 was established in Beaufort under the Civil Air Patrol. Civilian pilots flew their own planes to watch for German Uboats and support convoy and rescue missions. By September 7, volunteers were carving runways out of marshland, building basic facilities, and launching patrols along the coast from Cape Hatteras to Cape Fear. Thanks to strong community support and leadership, the base quickly grew, adding paved runways, machine shops, and a large hangar. A fire in November 1943 destroyed the hangar and several aircraft, but the dedication of Beaufort’s CAP volunteers left a lasting legacy in coastal defense during World War II.
