Each July, traditionally-rigged sailing craft rally in Beaufort's Taylors Creek to celebrate the historic voyages that carried news of the signing of the Declaration of Independence to the Outer Banks. The Great 4th Traditional Skiff Rally traditionally takes place after July 4 in recognition of the delay between the signing of the Declaration and the arrival of the news. The Traditional Small Craft Association, Friends of the Museum Chapter, will host this year's sail on Thursday, July 10. Image: Great 4th Traditional Rally from past years.

On June 30, 1814, Otway Burns’ privateering ship “Snap Dragon,” was captured by the British near Halifax, Nova Scotia. At the time the ship was temporarily under the command of Captain W. R. Graham because Burns was at home suffering from rheumatism. Burns, who was born near Swansboro, made three lucrative privateering runs on the “Snap Dragon” during the War of 1812, earning him the title of “Most Famous Privateer of the War of 1812.” Image: Model of ship “Snap Dragon” Made by John S.
