On this day in 1748 two Spanish privateers captured the British schooner Sarah off Bear Inlet. The Spaniards were hoping to restock provisions but there were little to none on board the British vessel. They decided to surrender to English authorities at Brunswick Town instead of face starvation on their journey back to St. Augustine.
These types of attacks by the Spanish would lead the English to construct fortifications at nearby Bogue and Bear Inlets in order to protect shipping interests in the area.

On this day in 1959 it was reported by the Carteret News-Times that courses would be offered in Atlantic covering marine navigation. The article stated other courses that could be offered depending on community interest included engine maintenance, and electronic instrument care.
The free courses were geared toward young adults and teens and were taught at the Atlantic school. They were organized by the County Committee for Fisheries Vocational Education Training. Dr. Alphonse Chestnut of the University of North Carolina's Institute of Fisheries Research (now known as the Institute of Marine Sciences) served as the committee chair. Instructors were Clayton Fulcher Jr. and J. W. Johnson.
The committee also noted that plans were underway for similar courses to be offered in Marshallberg as well.

Fish Friday!
Some wind, rain, and maybe frozen stuff is in the forecast. We hope you have some good foul weather gear if you have to be on the water. Be safe out there!
