Abstract:

In the 1930s Elizabeth City trumped other favorite stopping places for sailing enthusiasts making trips along the eastern seaboard. Elizabeth City cashed in on the natural features which gave its yacht basin advantages including: no tide, clean water, plentiful docking and repair facilities, and the Pasquotank's warm water temperatures which prevented freezing. Its location halfway between New York and Florida also added a benefit for the yachtsmen looking to rest.
