Abstract:

Wrecks once were so common along the North Carolina coast that when the barge SAXON came ashore on the Banks north of Hatteras, it caused no great interest. The SAXON wreck, however, was an illustration of tragedies often found in the annals of the Coast Guard - many a mariner's life would have been saved had he only stuck with his vessel.
