On this day in 1942 the first official Civil Air Patrol flight out of Base 16 Manteo took off from the air field at Skyco. The mission, carried out by civilian pilots, was to patrol the coastal waters in search of German U-boats. The pilots also assisted with escorting merchant vessel convoys, surveying and charting hazards to navigation, and with search and rescue missions. A second base was established at Beaufort the following year.
Pictured here is pilot William Paul Bridges, he was stationed at Base 16 on Roanoke Island during World War II (source: Kings Mountain Herald, Kings Mountain, NC Feb 24, 1988). ... See MoreSee Less

On this day in 1789 Congress passed an act that stated the establishment and support of lighthouses, beacons, buoys, and public piers shall be afforded by defrayments of the U.S. Treasury, transferring the responsibility from the states. The unit was known as the United States Lighthouse Establishment. Twelve existing lighthouses in the country were transferred to the federal government for management. There were none in North Carolina at the time, the earliest being the Shell Castle Rock light tower at Ocracoke Inlet built in 1798.
The sticker pictured here was placed on many items that were kept at the lighthouses and lightships, including every book in a travelling library that went from station to station. ... See MoreSee Less

Fish Friday!
Atlantic Beach's 3rd fishing pier, the Oceanana...
The Oceanana Resort was the idea of A. B. Cooper, a prominent developer of Atlantic Beach. The pier was built in 1959 and was part of a resort that included a motel, playground, private beach, and eventually a pool.
The name of the resort was originally supposed to be Oceana, but story has it that a sign painter accidently added an extra "na" at the end.

On this day in 1854 Congress appropriated $10,000 for the construction of a screw-pile lighthouse at Northwest Point Royal shoal in the Pamlico Sound about 9 mi. WNW of Ocracoke light station. The structure was completed by 1857. A later structure replaced this one in 1882, but suffered severe hurricane damage in August 1899. By 1904 the Northwest Point Royal Shoal lighthouse was no longer needed, the already established lighthouse at Southwest Point Royal Shoal, and a new one at Bluff Shoal, proved sufficient.
