On this day in 1908 at 8 p.m. a life-saver on patrol from the U.S.Life-Saving Station Fort Macon spotted the schooner Blanche stranded off the beach. The vessel was located about 1 1/2 miles SE of the station. The crew from Station Ft. Macon was summoned and quickly responded in the surfboat. By using the vessels capstans and anchors they were able to work the Blanche into deeper water and safely to Beaufort Harbor. The capstan was essentially a large winch that could pull the ship closer to its anchor. The life-savers could then hoist the anchor and move it out further, repeating the process until the ship was free. Image from Naval History and Heritage, an example of sailors using a capstan. ...

Fish Friday!
In this picture, courtesy of the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries, we see a mullet fishing crew on Bogue Banks that just pulled in their strike net. The season for mullet harvest from the beach has traditionally occurred in the Fall. Launching small skiffs into the surf from southern facing beaches is a little easier this time of year, the north winds can calm the ocean's surface. An 'L' shaped net fixed to the beach is swept by a skiff pulling a seine. Once the seine has been brought back to the beach, tractors are used to pull it completely out of the water so the catch can be culled. ... See MoreSee Less
