Abstract:

In 1921, the schooner CARROLL A. DEERING, under full sail, ran aground on the treacherous Diamond Shoals off North Carolina's coast. Lifesavers from four stations responded, but heavy seas and strong wind prevented boarding the ship for four days. When they did, rescuers found the crew had vanished without a trace.
