The Story of Ocracoke

Record #:
15216
Abstract:
To the majority of North Carolinians, Ocracoke Island is merely a place for hunting and fishing, but the island provides so much more in history and culture. The purported home of the notorious Blackbeard, Ocracoke also provided the commercial key to North Carolina with Ocracoke Inlet. Ocracoke was also the scene of many stirring Revolutionary sea fights among vessels. Even after the hostilities ceased and the lighthouse was built, Ocracoke continued to thrive in trade.
