Abstract:

The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, now 108 years old, stands only 310 feet from the inlet. As erosion threatens the Outer Banks, the National Park Service is considering three options to save the lighthouse: let nature take its course; move the lighthouse; or build up the beach around it.

Abstract:

When Captain Ernal Foster came back from service in World War II, he wanted to bring together the charter business and his family's love of fishing. Foster was the first to start the charter fishing business on Hatteras Island, and as time progressed more people started coming to the business. As business and publicity spread, Foster's one boat grew into a fleet--the famous Albatross Fleet.
