Abstract:

In an 1806 effort to make the North Carolina coast safer for shipping, the House Committee on Commerce and Manufactures recommended a bill to survey the coast of North Carolina from Cape Hatteras to Cape Fear. This treacherous length of coast was deemed to be one of the most hazardous stretch of sailing on the American coast.
