  • Bibliography of North Carolina Underwater Archaeology
    i BIBLIOGRAPHY OF NORTH CAROLINA UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY Compiled by Barbara Lynn Brooks, Ann M. Merriman, Madeline P. Spencer, and Mark Wilde-Ramsing Underwater Archaeology Branch North Carolina Division of Archives and History April 2009 ii FOREWARD In the forty-five years since the salvage of the Modern Greece, an event that marks the beginning of underwater archaeology in North Carolina, there has been a steady growth in efforts to document the state’s maritime history through underwater research. Nearly two dozen professionals and technicians are now employed at the North Carolina Underwater Archaeology Branch (N.C. UAB), the North Carolina Maritime Museum (NCMM), the Wilmington District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), and East Carolina University’s (ECU) Program in Maritime Studies. Several North Carolina companies are currently involved in conducting underwater archaeological surveys, site assessments, and excavations for environmental review purposes and a number of individuals and groups are conducting ship search and recovery operations under the UAB permit system. The results of these activities can be found in the pages that follow. They contain report references for all projects involving the location and documentation of physical remains pertaining to cultural activities within North Carolina waters. Each reference is organized by the location within which the reported investigation took place. The Bibliography is divided into two geographical sections: Region and Body of Water. The Region section encompasses studies that are non-specific and cover broad areas or areas lying outside the state's three-mile limit, for example Cape Hatteras Area. The Body of Water section contains references organized by defined geographic areas.

  • No One Knows for Sure When the First Europeans Looked Upon Carteret's Barrier Islands
    Graves and Shackleford No one knows for sure when the first Europeans looked upon Carteret’s barrier islands. However, an Italian explorer named Giovanni da Verrazzano left what most consider to be the first written description of Core Banks. Sailing northeast from Cape Fear his party of explorers reached the area of Carteret County in 1524. He tried to send a party ashore but the wave action along the beach made this impossible. However, a single sailor did reach the shore where he was greeted by natives who carried him a distance from the surf. The frightened man is reported to have screamed in dismay at this turn of events. He became even more upset when he saw them prepare a large fire. But as soon as he recovered his strength these natives let him return to Verrazzano’s ships. Over the years, from Verrazzano’s report until English settlement in the late 1600s, the Indians reported that there were several shipwrecks along the coast and that some Europeans (probably Spanish) did make it to safety where they lived with the Indians. In 1713 an estimated seven thousand acres, all of Core and Shackleford Banks, was given by the English to a man named John Porter. He held the land only a few years and in 1723 sold it to Enoch Ward and John Shackleford. Known as the Sea Banks, this narrow piece of land stretching from Beaufort Inlet northeastward to Ocracoke Inlet was divided between Shackleford and Ward. Ward got the area north of Cape Lookout, known today as Core Banks while Shackleford gave his name to the area southwest of Lookout to Beaufort Inlet, Shackleford Banks.

  • An Historical Overviw of the Beaufort Inlet Cape Lookout Area of North
    by June 21, 1982 You can stand on Cape Point at Hatteras on a stormy day and watch two oceans come together in an awesome display of savage fury; for there at the Point the northbound Gulf Stream and the cold currents coming down from the Arctic run head- on into each other, tossing their spumy spray a hundred feet or better into the air and dropping sand and shells and sea life at the point of impact. Thus is formed the dreaded Diamond Shoals, its fang-like shifting sand bars pushing seaward to snare the unwary mariner. Seafaring men call it the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Actually, the Graveyard extends along the whole of the North Carolina coast, northward past Chicamacomico, Bodie Island, and Nags Head to Currituck Beach, and southward in gently curving arcs to the points of Cape Lookout and Cape Fear. The bareribbed skeletons of countless ships are buried there; some covered only by water, with a lone spar or funnel or rusting winch showing above the surface; others burrowed deep in the sands, their final resting place known only to the men who went down with them. From the days of the earliest New World explorations, mariners have known the Graveyard of the Atlantic, have held it in understandable awe, yet have persisted in risking their vessels and their lives in its treacherous waters. Actually, they had no choice in the matter, for a combination of currents, winds, geography, and economics have conspired to force many of them to sail along the North Carolina coast if they wanted to sail at all!¹ Thus begins David Stick’s Graveyard of the Atlantic (1952), a thoroughly researched, comprehensive, and finely-crafted history of shipwrecks along the entire coast of North Carolina.

  • 2005 Sea Turtle Monitoring Project Report Bogue Banks, North Carolina
    2005 Sea Turtle Monitoring Project Report Bogue Banks, North Carolina INTERIM REPORT Leatherback nesting on Pine Knoll Shores in May 2005 Kristin T. Holloman & Matthew H. Godfrey North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission February 2006 Introduction The Sea Turtle Monitoring Project, initiated in 2002, was designed to observe and record sea turtle nesting activity on the island of Bogue Banks in Carteret County, North Carolina. The project area the ocean-facing beaches on Bogue Banks between the Atlantic Beach/Fort Macon State Park boundary and Emerald Isle at Bogue Inlet. Sea turtle nesting activities are recorded daily from May 1 through August 31, including research data relative to the effects of beach nourishment on sea turtle nesting: sand compaction, sand temperature, and nest temperature throughout the sea turtle nesting season. A 50-year Shore Protection Project designed by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) includes periodic sand renourishment to beaches on Bogue Banks. Phase I of the Bogue Banks Beach Restoration Project took place from November 2001 to April 2002. Dredge material was pumped onto the beaches of Pine Knoll Shores and Indian Beach, covering an area of approximately seven miles. Phase II, from January to April 2003, nourished the eastern half of Emerald Isle. Phase III, from February to April 2005, completed the renourishment of the western end of Emerald Isle. Additionally, dredge material was placed on Indian Beach and Salter Path, together with the extreme western end of Pine Knoll Shores, from February to March 2004. This activity was Phase I of “Project 933,” a component of the Morehead City Harbor Federal Navigation Project that includes regular dredging of the harbor channel.
