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.

Abstract:
Of personal interest to the author were also items of historical interest. Up close and personal was the view that he offered of sunken ships, as well as the marine life that lived around them. As visual illustration was a map locating the wrecked watercrafts, which included a German submarine. Accompanying the map was a brief description of each: an old boiler, LST#741, Richmond, Kyzickes, Zane Gray, U-85, and York.

Abstract:
A powerful storm in 1846 carved Oregon Inlet through the Outer Banks. Now 2,500 feet wide, it is a place of turbulent waters and shifting sands. It is a mixed blessing, taking lives, yet providing ocean access for fishermen. A controversial plan to control the shifting inlet is construction of two 3,500-foot jetties.
