Fish Friday!
Marine biologist and conservationist Rachel Carson was born on this day in 1907 near Springdale, Pennsylvania. She was the third woman to be hired by the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries. Her first assignment was studying the fishes of the Chesapeake Bay.
Directly across Taylors Creek from the Beaufort waterfront is a National Estuarine Research Reserve named in Rachel Carson's honor. She spent time in the area observing and studying the plants and animals of the estuarine waters. Her first visit was in 1938. In 1952 she resigned from her government position to focus on her writing and lobbying that promoted protecting our environment from dangerous chemicals.

The other life-saving station on Ocracoke Island...
On this day in 1883 James W. Howard was appointed head keeper of the newly built U.S. Life-Saving Station Ocracoke, located near Hatteras Inlet about 11 1/2 miles ENE of the Ocracoke Lighthouse. This station would later be named Hatteras Inlet Station (in 1905) and the Hatteras Station that already existed across the inlet on Hatteras Island would be renamed Durants.
In 1917 a new station was built at the eastern end of Ocracoke Island to replace the 1883 structure. This U.S. Coast Guard image shows the 1917 station sometime shortly before the 1950s. The station was eventually washed away by the encroaching sea and was never rebuilt. Instead, a new Hatteras Inlet Station would be constructed across the inlet on Hatteras Island in the early 1960s. ... See MoreSee Less

On this day in 1905 David Williams was appointed as the first head keeper of the U.S. Life-Saving Station Ocracoke, located about 1/2 mile north of the Ocracoke Lighthouse on Silver Lake. The original Station Ocracoke was actually located on the eastern end of Ocracoke Island near Hatteras Inlet. It was built in 1883 but renamed station Hatteras Inlet when the facility at Silver Lake was built. The building in this picture was the second station on the lake, built in 1940. It was decommissioned in 1996 and acquired by the State of North Carolina in 2001. ... See MoreSee Less
