Abstract:

Diamond City, which had a population of several hundred people, once filled the land between Cape Lookout Lighthouse and the point of Core Banks Island. All that remains are a few family graveyards. Dean discusses the city and the whaling industry that flourished there for 150 years, ending in 1909.
