In January 1955 the bulk carrier SS “Steelore” encountered heavy weather damage that caused it to take on water and its steering to fail. As a result, from January 19-23 the vessel was anchored in Cape Lookout while waiting for calmer weather and repairs. The Carteret News times reported on January 21 that, during that time, the crew put out a call for food and water. The local tug “Margaret Moran” delivered supplies to them from Beaufort. This incident resulted in no loss of life and one minor injury. The heavy weather damage to the vessel, however, was estimated to be about $1,500,000. With assistance, the ship completed its voyage and arrived in Baltimore on January 27. Image: SS “Steelore,” January 17, 1955. (Image courtesy US Coast Guard).

“Sheriff’s Department Recovers Boat Stolen Tuesday Night at Yacht Club,” the Carteret County News-Times reported on January 20, 1950. A 35-foot Elco cabin cruiser was removed unlawfully from its berth at the Morehead City Yacht Basin where it was slated to be part of the sheriff’s sale. The stolen boat was recovered in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Found aboard the boat was the brother-in-law of the former owner, who had lost the boat under a tax warrant. The Elco Motorboats company was most notable for installing the first electric engine for boats during the 1800s. The company not only built recreational boats but also lifeboats for the U.S. Coast Guard and PT boats during World War II. Image: Carteret News Times article, January 20, 1950.

The first of many casualties off North Carolina’s coast during World War II occurred on January 18, 1942. The tanker “Allan Jackson” was struck by two torpedoes from a German U-boat, killing 22 crew members and dumping more than 7.5 million gallons of oil into the ocean. The survivors told harrowing tales of clinging to scattered pieces of wreckage and trying to avoid burning oil.

On January 17, 1950, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development signed an agreement that allowed the state to take control of museum exhibits and collections that had been housed at the Federal Fisheries laboratory on Pivers Island since 1904. In 1951 the collection, which was then on display in Morehead City, would be dedicated as the Hampton Marine Museum. It would later be moved to Beaufort and eventually become the North Carolina Maritime Museum. Image: Ca. 1939 at the laboratory on Pivers Island; exhibits and specimens that would later become part of the collections of the now North Carolina Maritime Museum. image appeared in the publication “A History of the Federal Biological Laboratory at Beaufort, North Carolina 1899-1999” by Douglas Wolfe. ...
