Abstract:
The North Carolina Boating Act of 1959 “requires that all boating accidents occurring on public waters and fitting the reporting criteria of the act be reported to the Wildlife Resources Commission.” There were forty-four fatalities in 1964, and the number of accidents totaled eighty-eight. Over half of the accidents for which causes were determined were the result of collision with another vessel or capsizing. A map of the state provides locations of nonfatal and fatal boating accidents.
