Abstract:
Changes are occurring on Hatteras Island. One tradition that is vanishing from the Hatteras waterfront, as fisherman switch to gill nets, is haul seining. Another change is the decline in boat slips for commercial fishermen. In the last twenty-five years over 100 boat slips have been lost to private developers, and commercial fishing captains are competing for the 50 slips remaining in Hatteras. Fish houses have declined from six to two recently. To help fishermen, the Dare County Commissioners are petitioning the General Assembly to give tax breaks to fishermen as they do to farmers. Green explores the history of the Hatteras community from 1846 to the present.

Abstract:
In the 19th-century the United States Weather Bureau established several weather stations and observation posts throughout North Carolina and along the coast. The earliest coastal station was established in Wilmington in 1871, and has been in continuous operation since. A second station was built at Cape Hatteras in 1874, followed by five others up and down the coast. These stations played an important role in early storm and hurricane tracking and were the first weather warning systems for coastal residents. Harrison recounts the history of the Cape Hatteras Station.

In 1952, John Edgar and Anne Miller Hooper began building a motel at Buxton and called it the Lighthouse View Court motel. Harrison recounts the growth of the family business which is now in its fourth generation.

Abstract:
Queen Elizabeth personally supplied ships for an expedition which landed at Hatteras on July 27, 1585. The English attempted to challenge Spain's dominance in the New World and their initial settlement, headed by Lieutenant Governor Ralph Lane, landed at Hatteras on July 27, 1585. This colony would fail when too much emphasis was placed on finding gold rather than nurturing a permanent settlement.
