Abstract:
The 72-foot gaff-rigged schooner Jeanie B is a reminder of Washington's past as a prosperous port on the Pamlico River. Instead of transporting naval stores or agricultural products, Jeanie B now transports passengers on cruises of the Pamlico River, Pamlico Sound, and adjacent waterways. It also is used as a training vessel to teach the basics of sailing to young, aspiring sailors.

Abstract:
PILGRIM was a sailing yacht used in North Carolina for the menhaden fishery. Built in Delaware in 1893, PILGRIM was built to race in the America’s Cup annual yacht race. Following the competition, PILGRIM was converted to a steam vessel and moved to Beaufort in 1913. Modified with an open fish hold, the vessel was owned by local fisheries through 1933 and served a brief stint with the U.S. Navy during World War I. Abandoned in 1935, PILGRIM was filled with cement and used as a breakwater off Harkers Island.
