Abstract:

The Hampton Mariner's Museum in Beaufort was an outgrowth of an idea former state legislator Roy W. Hampton had in 1952. Hampton later died, and along with a lack of state funding, the museum languished. The cause was taken up in 1975 by Charles McNeill. This article describes the museum's growth and development from that point.

Abstract:

The Hampton Mariners Museum in historic Beaufort offers varied exhibits and programs celebrating past and present coastal life. A new Watercraft Center will be built in honor of Harvey W. Smith, an operator of menhaden processing plants and an avid collector of maritime objects. The facility will also provide space for the museum’s boat shop, workshop and maritime research program.

Abstract:

Stanley suggested there was NC Coastal treasure not buried in the briny depths. Noted treasure troves on land included the newly restored boardwalk and Hampton Mariner’s Museum. There was also waterborne treasure above the waves, such as the tour boat Karen Ann and marine science laboratory where Rachel Carson penned The Sea Around Us.
