On August 20, 1924, crew members from the U.S. Coast Guard Station Chicamacomico were each awarded the USCG Gold Lifesaving Medal for the rescue of survivors from the British tanker SS “Mirlo” six years earlier. On August 16, 1918, SS “Mirlo” was torpedoed by a German submarine, causing the ship to sink. By the time the Chicamacomico lifesaving crew—John A. Midgett Jr., Zion S. Midgett, Arthur V. Midgett, Leroy S. Midgett, Clarence E. Midgett, and Prochorus L. O’Neal— reached the seamen, nine already had died. The life savers brought the remaining six men to safety. . Image: Clarence E.

On August 19, 1862, Union troops led by Col. Thomas G. Stevenson burned a small Confederate fort on Huggins Island near Swansboro. Built in 1861 to protect local salt works and naval stores, the fort had already been abandoned. The company and the cannons were removed months earlier when Confederate troops left to join Brig. Gen. Lawrence O’B. Branch in New Bern. After the Union landing, the fort’s barracks and ammunition magazine were destroyed, leaving only the earthen embankments behind. Amazingly, those earthworks survived over 160 years of development and erosion. Today, this hidden piece of Civil War history is preserved on the island, part of Hammocks Beach State Park and accessible only by boat. Image: Brigadier General Thomas Greely Stevenson.

On August 18, 1587, Virginia Dare became the first child born in the Americas to English parents. Her parents, Eleanor and Ananias Dare, were part of the Roanoke Colony, an early attempt by the English to establish a permanent settlement in the New World. Her birth was recorded by her grandfather John White, governor of the colony, before he returned to England seeking supplies. It was three years before he could secure passage back to Roanoke Island, and upon his return he found the colonists, including his young grand=[daughter, had vanished.

Fish Friday On August 14, 1997, North Carolina took a big step for coastal conservation when the Fisheries Reform Act was signed into law by Governor James Hunt Jr. Built through collaboration among legislators, commercial and recreational fishermen, scientists, fisheries managers, and conservationists, the act aimed to protect healthy fish stocks, restore depleted ones, and promote responsible use of our fisheries resources.
