Abstract:
At the end of the summer, when the weather begins to cool and the Gulf Stream moves away from the shore, the mullet begin their annual migration to warmer waters for winter. The annual mullet migration draws in hoards of fishermen, arriving at North Carolina beaches in groups of 6, 8, and 10. Mullet, along with spot, tout, flounder, pompano, blues, and a myriad of \"trash fish,\" such as skates, sting rays, and menhaden, are gathered from small fishing craft using gill and haul nets. Fish prices plummet during this period, as up to 4,000 pounds of fish can be brought to shore, per day, by one group of men.

Abstract:
The CSS Hunley, the first submarine to sink an enemy ship as well as the forerunner for the modern day, atomic-powered model, was conceived by Captain Horace L. Hunley. Constructed in New Orleans, and later, Mobile, Alabama, the Hunley was shipped to Charleston, South Carolina via rail car for use in the Confederate Navy. Over 35 men died during trial runs in the sub, including the builder. On February 17, 1864, the Hunley was used successfully.
