All comments on the proposal to remove the Aids to Navigation in Barden Inlet are requested prior to May 6U.S. Coast Guard Proposal to Remove Aids to Navigation in Barden Inlet:

Due to significant shoaling between Barden Inlet Buoy 8 and Barden Inlet Light 35, the U.S. Coast Guard is proposing to permanently discontinue 21 aids to navigation (almost all of the remaining markers in the area). Captain's licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard would be operating in "non-navigable channels" and would be subject to loss of their license should there be any kind of accident involving a ferry or tour service. In a recent meeting the U.S. Coast Guard suggested this proposal would also affect insurance rates for companies operating in the area.

Cape Lookout National Seashore is only accessible by boat, and Barden Inlet, a federally mandated channel, is the main access. This proposal would affect National Park Service authorized ferry and tour services to over 120,000 visitors, and about 100,000 recreational boat visitors. Our authorized passenger ferry service to Cape Lookout Lighthouse and Shackleford Banks has suggested that if this happens, they would have no choice but to discontinue service to the park.

Interested Mariners and other stakeholders are strongly encouraged to comment on the potential impacts this proposal would have on navigational safety. You may provide feedback using the U. S. Coast Guard Fifth District Waterway Data Sheet, available online at https:5th Coast Guard District Special Notice Waterway Feedback Form

All comments will be carefully considered and are requested prior to May 6, 2019 to be considered in the analysis. Refer to project number 05-19-029(D)

William H. Sumner ran aground at New Topsail Inlet en route to New York on Sept. 7, 1919. She was under the command of 24-year-old Robert E. Cockram — his first time at the helm following a recent promotion. Cockram was found dead of a gunshot wound in his cabin the following morning. His first mate was charged in connection to — but found not guilty of — the captain's death. (Sumner's fascinating history is here: northcarolinashipwrecks.blogspot.com/2012/01/schooner-william-h-sumner-1919.html)Attn: Shipwreck lovers. This afternoon, we see the remains of the William H. Sumner, which is about 150 yards north of the old Barnacle Bill's Pier in Surf City. It usually 'uncovers' once or twice a year. Please remember, shipwrecks are protected by the state, so removing or damaging the remains is a violation of state law. Thanks. ... See MoreSee Less
