Abstract:
Core Sound lies along the North Carolina coast near Beaufort. Although it is nearly twenty-eight miles in length, it is rarely more than three miles wide. The hustle and bustle of today's tourist industry has bypassed many of Core Sound's communities, such as Davis and Atlantic; thus they provide a glimpse into old-time coastal living. Boating through Core Sound can be dangerous as most of the sound's waterways are only a few feet deep.

Abstract:
Called sound country by the author, North Carolina attained this status by having more sounds than any other state in the east. Its importance may be better defined, however, by the role that sounds like Currituck have played in defining a way of life for Eastern North Carolinians and the region’s seafood industry for centuries.

Abstract:
Glimpses of the past were perhaps seen most clearly in this collection of photos. One was a reminder of when the ferry was the only source of transport for humans and cargo. Others were reminders of businesses long since gone out of business, as well as buildings still standing. Most the photos, though, attested the importance of waterways around the Island, whether the creek familiarly known as the “Slash,” Core Sound, or Atlantic Ocean.

Between the Coast Guard, naval yard, and commercial fisheries work of many kinds, Mr. Robert Watson Gray had gained almost a lifetime of maritime experience. After retirement, with much of his days taken up by fishing, he showed how the lure of the open sea still reeled him in.

Abstract:
Noted first were reasons to appreciate the Coast and its waters, particularly sites that lend appeal. Land marks ranged from the well-known Outer Banks to perhaps lesser known Bird’s Island. Towns included famed Kittyhawk to the famed by relatively few Duck. As for what he saw as evidence of being taken for granted: pollution of air and water, destruction to dunes and wildlife. Out of an enduring appreciation for, and mounting concern about, he called for all North Carolinians to restore the Coast and its waters for future generations and out of a sacred duty.

Abstract:
Fishing and work boats all have a history. This may be reflected in the name or in an oral history of the vessel. As years go by, the boats themselves, like the fishermen, have had to adapt to new changes.
