Fish Friday!
In many of the seafood processing facilities and fish houses throughout eastern North Carolina women were the dominant workforce. Shelling, shucking, heading and sorting the catch of the day. In this 1960s image, these women are shucking bay scallops at an old facility in Carteret County, the harvest came from the shallow estuaries of Core Sound.

On this day in 1895 the schooner Sallie Bissell of Charleston, South Carolina bound for New Bern stranded on a shoal 3 1/2 miles east of the U.S. Life-Saving Station Portsmouth. Since this was a newly finished station and a regular crew had not been appointed yet, the head keeper of the station, Ferdinand G. Terrell, employed the help of volunteers to rescue the 5 sailors of the Bissell. The shipwrecked were cared for at the station until the 8th of March when they were sent on the schooner Virginia Dare to New Bern. The Sallie Bisell was eventually pushed over by the large waves during high tide, it later sank in deeper water. Station Portsmouth can be seen in the lower left of this 1969 photo of Portsmouth. ...

On this day in 1827 Congress authorized for a lightvessel to be placed near Piney Point at the mouth of the Neuse River. A total of $3,500 was appropriated for the vessel. In 1863 a screw-pile type lighthouse was completed at the location. It had a 5th order Fresnel lens and a 500 pound bell that keepers could use to help mariners navigate the waters. The lights focal point was roughly 52 feet above the water and could be seen up to 12 miles away. It is reported that the structure was nicknamed "the grasshopper" by locals due to the pilings resembling the legs of the insect. The screw-pile lighthouse was dismantled in 1931.
