On December 8, 1917, the 53-foot menhaden schooner “M. B. Davis” wrecked three miles east of Bogue Inlet during a frigid storm. The 1913 sailing vessel was originally built in Davis by Isaiah Davis and Ed Lawrence; it had a home port of Beaufort. All on board survived. The ship, however, was a complete loss.

A day that will live in Infamy… On December 7, 1941, Japanese planes staged a surprise attack on U.S. military forces at Pearl Harbor, resulting in the death of 2,403 Americans. It is the day that, in the words of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, will “live in infamy” and it is the day that led the U.S. to enter into World War II. North Carolinaian Harley Jolley was asleep at 7:55 a.m. at Hickam Airfield located on O’ahu, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941. Jolley when the attack commenced. Jolley, who was serving in the Army Air Force at the time, immediately rushed to a guard position at the perimeter of the field. Later, Jolley would observe that he was “very fortunate” to have avoided injury. He served in the military for the rest of the war, mostly in France and Belgium. Jolley died Nov. 23, 2020, at age 100. Image: Harley Jolley. (Image courtesy NC State Archives).

Fish Friday!It is no surprise that the Atlantic Ocean includes a number of jolly fish to help celebrate the season, including elves! Due to its wide distribution, the bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix) has many different regional names, including the elf fish. The bluefish, known for its delicious taste, is a warm-water migratory species living in the Atlantic Ocean from Nova Scotia to Argentina and from Spain to southern Africa. One of its distinctive features is its broad and corked tail and its spiny first dorsal and pectoral fins. The bluefish is generally grayish to blue-green in its dorsal area, and its belly and lower sides fade to white. It has a large mouth and flat, triangular teeth that are strong, sharp, and prominent. Bluefish can grow up to 7 inches and weigh up to 40 pounds, though most reach only 20 pounds. Image: Bluefish from the Gulf of Mexico.
