On June 24, 1942, a K‑3 patrol blimp spotted 27 survivors from the steam merchant ship “Ljubica Matkovic,” torpedoed earlier that morning by German submarine U‑404 about 44 nautical miles east of Cape Lookout. The men were rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard and brought safely to Morehead City. The next day—June 25, 1942—the steamship “Manuela” was also torpedoed by U‑404. Two crew members were killed, and the ship had to be abandoned. Forty men were rescued by Coast Guard vessels and transported to Morehead City and Norfolk. “Manuela” initially stayed afloat, and a salvage crew even discovered one injured survivor still onboard. The ship ultimately sank while under tow the following day. In total, U‑404 would sink four ships off the Cape Lookout coast. Image: “Manuela,” January 22, 1942.

Sir Francis Drake arrived off Roanoke Island just as a powerful, unusual storm hit from June 23–26, 1586—so intense it threatened his entire fleet. Historians believe this may be the earliest recorded hurricane, in early American history! Image: Sir Francis Drake. (Image courtesy National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London). ... See MoreSee Less
