Fish Friday Have you heard of the puddingwife fish? This colorful fish has a greenish/olive colored body, a head that appears orange from above and bluish green from below, and orange lines running from pectoral fin to belly. The origin of the name remains largely a mystery, share your theories in the comments! The puddingwife fish grow up to 20 inches long, with the largest caught in North Carolina measuring 18 inches long. That record holding puddingwife weighed 3 pounds, 11 ounces, and was caught off the coast of Southport in 2023 by Connor Stone. Image: Connor Stone holding state record holding puddingwife fish.

Each July, traditionally-rigged sailing craft rally in Beaufort's Taylors Creek to celebrate the historic voyages that carried news of the signing of the Declaration of Independence to the Outer Banks. The Great 4th Traditional Skiff Rally traditionally takes place after July 4 in recognition of the delay between the signing of the Declaration and the arrival of the news. The Traditional Small Craft Association, Friends of the Museum Chapter, will host this year's sail on Thursday, July 10. Image: Great 4th Traditional Rally from past years.

Fish Friday!Today is a special version of our weekly focus on fish and fishing as we celebrate both independence from British rule — and from fishing licenses! On July 4 of each year, North Carolina residents and visitors can fish for free in public waters. (While you don't need a fishing license today, you do need to still follow size and bag limits, as well as all other fishing regulations.) Happy fishing and happy birthday, America! ...

These artifacts were recovered from the wreck site of “Marjorie McAllister.” On July 3, 1972, the Carteret News Times reported that divers found the sunken tug vessel's remains southwest of Cape Lookout in 100 feet of water. The tug with all hands was originally lost during a storm on November 2, 1969. Image: Stern light from vessel “Majorie McAllister.” (Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum Collection).
