Abstract:

The skeletal frame of the ancient Neuse River Lighthouse, over a century and a half old, can still be seen by the mariner today as he plies the waters of the River and Pamlico Sound. Erected in 1802 and dismantled in 1931, the light atop the dome could be seen on a clear night 12 miles down the sound and up the river. Known as a \"screw-pile\" lighthouse, the main body of the structure sits on large piles driven into the river bottom. The main house structure has four floors, including a tower room housing the gas lamps.

Abstract:

Dramatic and colorful days of the century-old Neuse River lighthouse, which became a part of the legendary coastal past with its dismantling over thirty years ago, live again most vividly as they are recalled by the 76-year old lightkeeper, Captain Thomas Daniels Quidley, who lived with it during the last twenty-five years of its history.

Abstract:

Although the crabbing industry in North Carolina is one of the youngest of the State's four major commercial fishing industries, it has shown the most progress in the past 20 years. Three-fourths of the annual catch comes from Pamlico Sound and its major tributaries. There are three principal methods of crabbing in North Carolina: crab pots, trawling nets, and \"trot lines.\"
