Abstract:
Diamond City, North Carolina, was once home to fifty families who were actively engaged with homesteading and fishing. Additional income was found when ships and their cargoes washed ashore; many materials were incorporated into house construction. While access to resources made life difficult, it was the 1899 hurricane which brought an end to the small community. The storm hit the coast and many families decided to return to the mainland. Some even brought their homes with them across the sound.

Abstract:
Beaufort, North Carolina, was hit by a hurricane in September 1903. The fishing steamer BEATRICE was seining for menhaden offshore when the storm struck. Several other vessels which survived the gale began patrolling the seas looking for survivors and BEATRICE, but they had no luck. Ten days after the storm, the bow of BEATRICE washed ashore at Caffey’s Inlet, approximately 100 miles from the vessel’s last known location. The crew was never found.

Abstract:
A hurricane’s impact can last long after it has gone back out into the sea and water levels in rivers have returned to normal. Proof perhaps more compelling than words is this collection of photographs. They reveal the havoc Hurricane Florence wreaked on inland communities such as Trenton and counties such as Harnett, as well as islands such as Bald.
