Fish Friday!Not everything we “catch” are fish, and in 1922 a local claimed to have caught a message in a bottle near Cape Lookout from the missing ship USS “Cyclops.” This supposed discovery would spark local excitement over hopes that the crew, including six North Carolinians, may have survived. Unfortunately, On April 20, 1922, the Beaufort News carried a story officially denouncing the local “message in a bottle” as a fake. On June 14, 1918, the U.S. Navy officially declared the crew and passengers of the USS “Cyclops” dead. Of the 293 souls on board, six were North Carolinians. The last known contact with the ship was on March 4 after it left Barbados on its was to the Port of Baltimore. Rumors regarding the ship’s fate spread quickly and would have been a common conversation topic in coastal North Carolina. Some theories included sabotage by the ship’s German-born commander, the curse of the Bermuda triangle, capture at sea, a German submarine attack and a sudden hurricane. The true reason for the ship’s loss remains a mystery. Image: Excerpt from “Beaufort News” April 20, 1922. (Image courtesy Digital NC). ... See MoreSee Less

Hundreds of ships tried, and failed, to sneak through the Federal blockade of the southern states during the American Civil War to supply the Confederacy and make a profit. Surprisingly, on April 23, 1863, not one but THREE Confederate blockade-runners successfully entered New Inlet just north of Cape Fear and made their way into the Cape Fear River. The steamers “Merrimac,” “Charleston,” and “Margaret and Jessie” all made it to Wilmington with supplies.

It's Volunteer Appreciation Week and we have a whale's worth of gratitude for our volunteers! Without their help, we could not "orca-strate" our projects with such efficiency and expertise. Our volunteers are essential to the work of telling the stories of the marine mammals off our coast and inspiring the conservation and stewardship of our oceans in visitors! Thank you, volunteers, for being so "fin-tastic"! ... See MoreSee Less
