Abstract:
Sugarloaf Island sits across the water from Morehead City’s waterfront. First deeded to a local citizen in 1818, many residents in Morehead City today remember playing on the island as children. Fishermen used the small island to dry nets while the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers used the area to dump dredge spoil. In 2002, the town purchased the island as a city park and installed a foot path, boat dock, and rest rooms to increase accessibility and ease of use. Various species have been identified on the island and are recorded in an interpretive trail map.

Abstract:
U.S. Coast Guard Cutter CHILULA was stationed in Morehead City, NC for 35 years, serving between 1956 and 1991. CHILULA was built in 1945 as a Navajo-class tug for use in the U.S. Navy. Decommissioned in 1947, the tug was towed to Morehead City a decade later for use in the U.S. Coast Guard. The author served on board as a Quartermaster and recalls the juxtaposition between life on board and his liberty time in Morehead City. The vessel participated in both search and rescue activities and conducted narcotics patrols in southern waters. USCGC CHILULA was retired from service in June, 1991 and intentionally sunk.

Abstract:
By 1973's dog days of summer, the Coastal Plains Regional Commission had realized its short term goal for Wheeler Airlines. It was a connection between Morehead City (offering seasonal peaks of business) to Greenville (promising the greater likelihood of year around brisk business). As for its long term goal, that was to extend this aerial connection to Elizabeth City, Jacksonville, and Washington. From this, the hope was to resolve even more effectively the long recognized aerial transport issue for Eastern NC.
