Abstract:

Off the shore of Hatteras Island in Dare County, North Carolina, there has long stood a mysterious ship that has welcomed locals, tourists, and scientists to its viewing. Nathan Richards, director of Maritime Studies at East Carolina University, and his team of graduate students have studied the wreckage, concluding that the mystery vessel was originally a Word War II gunboat.
