On July 14, 1933, the tanker “Cities Service Petrol” was lost off Cape Lookout Shoals.Four days later, newspapers recounted the dramatic rescue: As flames consumed the ship, Captain F. L. Sears stood on the bow and called out to rescuers that he would go down with his vessel. Moments later, the burning tanker slipped stern‑first beneath the waves. Two crew members died alongside the captain, and 34 others were rescued by the tanker “Gulfgem.”Photo: Urbana Daily Courier, 15 July 1933, Galena (Illinois).

Fish Friday Great white sharks are incredible predators of the ocean—carnivorous fish that can live more than 70 years, grow up to 21 feet long, and weigh as much as 4,500 pounds. Unlike most fish, sharks are made of cartilage instead of bone, placing them in a group called elasmobranchs alongside rays, skates, and sawfish. If you visit the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort, you’ll spot a model of an impressive local legend: the great white shark caught just off Beaufort Inlet in September 1984 by the crew of the shark‑fishing boat “Alligator.” This giant measured over 15 feet and weighed 2,080 pounds. It became a coastal sensation, drawing thousands of spectators when it was displayed along the Morehead City waterfront.
