On March 8, 1876, a US Army Signal Service Station was established at Cape Lookout. The purpose of the station was to record and report on storms along the coast and provide weather warning signals for mariners. The office for Sergeant E.F. Brady of the Signal Service was set up on the second floor of the light keeper’s dwelling at the Cape Lookout Lighthouse. The meteorological instruments were placed on poles about 50 feet north of the house. In this 1913 picture of the lighthouse, you can see the house where Brady's office was established. It is the structure with two chimneys, one on each end. The other dwelling on the left was not built until 1907. Image: 1913 image of the Cape Lookout Lighthouse and surrounding buildings.

Fish Friday!The greater amberjack, also known as the amberjack or jack, can grow up to 6 feet and weigh more than 200 pounds. The largest greater amberjack caught in North Carolina waters was 126 lb. 7 oz. The fish was caught in 2008 by Mike Krantz off Swansboro. Though originally targeting tuna, Mike Krantz dropped a jig and hooked the record-breaking amberjack. Image: Amberjack fishing near Morehead City, NC.

Around March 1, 1524, Giovanni Da Verrazano, on a voyage for France to explore the “New World,” made landfall in the vicinity of Cape Fear. From there, Verrazano sailed south then returned to Cape Fear to avoid the Spanish in the area. From Cape Fear, he sailed north, making a couple of landings between there and Cape Hatteras, visiting with the natives, whom he found friendly, and examining the flora and fauna of the land. Observing Pamlico Sound, he determined that this was not Asia but a new land, and the sound was the Pacific Ocean. After spending about a month on the Carolina coast, he sailed north to New Jersey, New York, New England, Newfoundland, and back to France.
